CM Yogi का बड़ा ऐलान, 'माफिया उन्मूलन के बाद नशे के सौदागरों की बारी, किसी कीमत पर पनपने नहीं देगें'

Yogi Adityanath urged young people to avoid drugs and concentrate on their studies as he announced that drug dealers were the next focus of his government's crackdown in Uttar Pradesh, northern India.

The address, shown by India's Hindi-language news channel Republic Bharat, took place in Gorakhpur. The broadcaster says Adityanath was visiting a Vantangiya village for Diwali celebrations.

Speaking behind a flower-decorated podium, the chief minister warned that substance abuse and gambling could break apart otherwise stable families. He described gambling as something that makes a person dependent and repeatedly urged the audience to keep away from both.

Adityanath then presented the campaign against drug dealers as a continuation of what he called the elimination of the mafia. That was his characterization of the government's record. He said his administration would not allow people who destroyed others' lives to prosper.

His message to young people combined that enforcement pledge with an assurance about their future: study well, he said, and the BJP's "double-engine" administration would support employment. The phrase refers to the same party governing both the state and at the national level.

The broadcaster also reports that the visit included inaugurations and foundation-laying ceremonies for development projects serving the Vantangiya community.
