Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], March 7 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak has assured that the allottees 'cheated' by the Ansal Group will get justice.

Speaking to ANI on Tuesday, the UP Deputy CM said, 'I have come to know that all of Ansal's allottees have been cheated. The matter has come to the notice of the government. The Chief Minister has ordered strict action. In every situation, the allottees there will get justice.'

Earlier, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directed the registration of an FIR against the Ansal Group. Taking cognisance of the matter wherein the Ansal Group allegedly duped homebuyers, the CM ordered the registration of FIRs in all districts where buyers have been affected. He also directed the formation of a special team to ensure strict action.

CM Yogi Adityanath also criticised the opposition for spreading 'negative propaganda' about the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. He stated that despite their efforts to spread misinformation, they were unable to shake the faith of the people in the country.

Speaking at the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly, CM Yogi said, 'The negative propaganda and misinformation that was spread had no impact on the faith of the people of the country. Your attempts to spread negativity were unsuccessful. You (opposition) tried to strategically spread negativity, but neither the people of Uttar Pradesh nor the country believed your words. Soon, the public will stop listening to you.'

The UP CM further stated that the mass religious congregation demonstrated the state's capability to organise such a grand event.

Targeting the opposition, CM Yogi said, 'Maha Kumbh has demonstrated the state's capability to organise such a grand event, showcasing not only the state's strength to the country but also India's potential to the world. The negative propaganda and misinformation spread by you had no impact on the people's faith across the nation.'

'You continuously relied on spreading negativity, which became your primary tool. Despite your efforts to strategically create this narrative, neither the people of Uttar Pradesh nor the country believed your false claims. No one in the country trusted your words,' he added.

The Chief Minister further stated that organising the Maha Kumbh was part of a broader plan for the sustainable development of the holy and traditional city of Prayagraj, adding that the event allowed the UP government to improve the city's infrastructure significantly.
