Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has slammed the opposition for indulging in politics on the issue of migrant workers.
"It is unfortunate that some people are playing politics in the time of crisis even when the Modi government is helping the poor through the ''Garib Kalyan'' package. When these people were in power, the benefits of welfare schemes never reached the poor. The same people are now playing politics on the issue of migrant workers," he said in a video message on Tuesday (5 May).
