His comment came when Yogi Adityanath, in a public rally a few hours ago, had targeted the SP chief and said, "Those who considered power as their 'bapauti' (family property), have now started realizing it. That they will never return to Uttar Pradesh, that is why they are trying to conspire. They (SP) are trying to create anarchy. They have nothing to do with development and safety of daughters and traders.
