After mafias, it's time to fight against mosquitoes: Yogi Adityanath

LUCKNOW: The ubiquitous mosquitoes are making their presence felt in the civic elections here. Even as campaigning for the municipal election reaches a crescendo, UP CM Yogi Adiyanath finds a new enemy - mosquitoes.
Yogi has said that UP government's campaign against mafias throughtout the state was successful, but now "we have to fight against mosquitoes", which is continuously going on.
Addressing a rally at MP Inter College in Gorakhpur on Tuesday, Yogi - who has been elected from Gorakhpur Lok Sabha parliamentary constituency five times, thinks that the main issue among citizens of Gorakhpur is "mosquitoes and uncleanliness in the city".
Yogi Adityanath said that earlier, Gorakhpur was infamous for local goons and gangwar, adding, the "mafia raaj" has ended in the city and now the mosquitoes are the new enemy for residents here.
At present Gorakhpur mayor belongs to the BJP, but still the problems are same. Mosquito-borne diseases have affected the residents in a big way.
Gorakhpur has total 70 wards in which 27 wards are with BJP leaders. With victory with a majority looking a big challenge for the BJP, the CM has appealed to all to send maximum number of BJP candidates.
