PM Modi questioned the UP government on the adverse situation of law and order in the state. He said, “In Uttar Pradesh law and order situation is a disaster. This must change. Government’s work is to ensure safety for the people. Sadly, the state government is not paying attention to it.”

I urge people of the states to elect a BJP Government that would work for welfare of all.” He also highlighted about reduction in stent prices aimed at benefiting the poor by making treatments affordable.
