It is the result of Yogi government’s effective lobbying in the court that Mukhtar Ansari and his brother Afzal were convicted and sentenced by an MP-MLA court, said a UP government spokesperson, reports Pathikrit Chakraborty. The spokesperson said that it is in the current regime that the mafia in the state are behind bars. “In the earlier SP and BSP governments, they enjoyed the pleasures of power in connivance with mafias like Ansari brothers to establish their kingdom,” he claimed.
