UP built by Yogi runs on "thoko Niti": UP Congress
"In Kushinagar, people started beating up a policeman who had come to resolve a dispute between two parties. They tore his clothes. This is the Uttar Pradesh built by Yogi. It runs on the 'Thoko Niti'. It neither knows how to respect the uniform nor the law. The entire credit for making the state so miserable and destroying respect for the law from the minds of people here goes only to the BJP government."
