But everyone knows who are the people opposing the decision and trying to prevent girls from studying further, he said while addressing a rally of about 2.75 lakh women from all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh.

He said that before the BJP came to power in the state, there was “mafia raj” and “goonda raj” in the state.”Women bore the brunt of this and could not move about freely.Yogi Adityanath cracked down on such elements and today, women can move about freely and securely.

UP now has safety and security and immense possibilities.It can no longer be pushed back,” he said.

The Prime Minister said that the bank sakhi programme has increased employment opportunities for women and brought banking to the doorstep.He informed that transactions worth Rs 75,000 crore were taking place through bank sakhis.
