New Delhi, Mar 22 (IBNS) : Making his first speech in Parliament after becoming Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and perhaps the last in the 18-year stint in the Lok Sabha, Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday promised to turn UP into the best stat of the country, free from corruption,riots and crimes, reports said.

"Aap dekhte rahiye... Wahan par bahut kuch band hone jaa raha hai (You keep watching... A lot is going to stop there)," he said.

Adityanath, who was made UP CM pending his election to the state Assembly, has been a member of the Lok Sabha for the last 18 years representing Gorakhpur constituency. 

He assumed office as the CM only on Tuesday. 

He said  there hadn't been a riot in Gorakhpur in the last five years though  403 such incidents have taken place elsewhere in UP.

Immediately after taking over charge, Adityanath held his first meeting with the state police chief, asking him to present a blueprint to tackle crimes witin 15 days. He also reportedly asked police to be vigilant while expressing his concern over the murder of a Muslim leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party.
