UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s Old Remark Trends Again After Gangster Atiq Ahmed’s Son Killed In Encounter

After dreaded gangster Atiq Ahmed’s son Asad, wanted in the Umesh Pal murder case, was gunned down by Uttar Pradesh police in an encounter in Jhansi today, a one-month-old statement of chief minister Yogi Adityanath is trending on social media once again.

On February 25, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was addressing the budget session of the Uttar Pradesh assembly, and during a face-off with Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Akhilesh Yadav over the broad daylight murder of Umesh Pal, he said that he would completely eliminate the mafia from the state.

“Is it not true that Atiq Ahmed, who has been accused by the victim’s family, is part of the mafia fostered by the Samajwadi Party, and we have only worked towards breaking its back?” Yogi Adityanath, pointing a finger at Mr Yadav, said.
