Yogi Aditynath Calls Akhilesh’s SP Party A Threat To Women, Remembers Mulayam Singh Yadav’s Statement

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday criticised Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party (SP), calling it a ‘serious threat’ and alleging that members of the party are involved in crimes against women. During the Monsoon session of the state assembly, Adityanath referred to the late Mulayam Singh Yadav’s 2014 statement, “ladke hain, galti ho jati hai” (They are boys, mistakes happen).

Adityanath said, “The state government is completely serious about women’s safety. The result of this seriousness is that cases related to crimes against women and children are continuously decreasing. There is a fear of action in the minds of criminals.”

Adityanath made these remarks during Question Hour on the second day of the UP Assembly’s Monsoon Session. He was responding to a question from SP member Ragini Sonkar regarding the government’s plans to prevent the sexual exploitation of women and children in the state.

He stated that after the BJP government was formed in 2017, the first initiative to curb miscreants was the creation of the “Anti-Romeo Squad.” Pointing at the opposition members, he said, “It is sad to say that when the Anti-Romeo Squad was formed, the first to oppose it was the Samajwadi Party.”

He further added, “There is no hesitation in saying that in cases of crimes against women, people associated with the Samajwadi Party are found to be directly or indirectly involved.”
