It has been said that a separate amount of Rs 200 crore was kept aside for extra care if cow shelters under “Kanha Gaushala and Besahara Pashu Ashram” scheme in the populated areas in UP.
While the crime rate in the state increased rapidly, UP CM Yogi Adityanath clears ‘Cow Cess’ in a bid to protect stray cattle In UP.
After this announcement was made, people on social media were of the opinion that Yogi is prioritising cows over people in the state.
