Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath slammed the Opposition in the Uttar Pradesh assembly on Saturday and thundered that the government would have a “zero tolerance" approach towards crime and mafia."Mafiyaon ko mitti me mila denge (we will destroy the mafia)," he said.
Addressing the killing of the prime witness in the 2005 BSP MLA murder case on Friday evening, he said that “the government will have a zero tolerance approach to the incident that took place in Prayagraj."
“However, the criminal who committed the crime, was he not nurtured by the Samajwadi Party? Was he not made an MP by SP?"

“These people are patrons of professional mafia," the UP CM further said.
“The mafia who has done this act is absconding from the state today, whoever the mafia may be, our government will not let ‘mafia raj’ prevail in the state."
Umesh Pal, the prime witness of the 2005 murder of Bahujan Samaj Party MLA Raju Pal, was shot dead Friday evening at his residence in Prayagraj.
The main accused in the Raju Pal murder is mafia-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed, who is currently lodged in a Gujarat Jail.
