Summary:
Agra, Jan 31 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday on Friday alleged that the previous SP governments pushed the state into violence as he held the party responsible for the Muzaffarnagar riots and the "killing" of devotees of Lord Ram in the past.

"SP"s hands are smeared with the blood and they are also responsible for the killing of "Ram bhakts" in Ayodhya.
They had pushed the state into the flames of riots," Adityanath alleged.
Adityanath also slammed the Samajwadi Party for naming institutions after Mughal ruler Aurangzeb.
