UP CM Yogi Adityanath hits back at Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday hit back at Congress general secretary for easter UP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra who questioned UP government saying criminals 'doing as they like' in Uttar Pradesh.
CM Yogi took a jibe at Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and said, "It is a case of sour grapes. Her party president lost from UP, so sitting in Delhi, Italy or England they have to comment on something or the other to remain in headlines."
Priyanka Gandhi had questioned the state of Law & Order in UP under the Yogi government and said, "In entire Uttar Pradesh criminals are roaming around freely, doing whatever they wish. Criminal incidents continue to happen but it has fallen on deaf ears of the BJP government. Has the Uttar Pradesh government surrendered before criminals?" She also tagged along with her tweet news headlines of different crime reports in the state."
However, the UP Police in response to Priyanka Gandhi hit back with stats. The UP police took to Twitter on Saturday and said, "UP police has initiated strict action in serious crimes. In the past two years, 9,925 criminals were arrested and 81 killed."
"In action under NSA (National Security Act), property worth Rs 200 crore was seized. There has been a decline in incidents of dacoity, murder, loot and kidnapping."
"Visible policing, strong monitoring, effective action against hardened criminals & public interaction has enabled us to win the confidence of people. Crime under all major heads is down by 20-35%. We are committed to the safety and security of citizens of the state," UP Police further added.
UP Law minister Brijesh Pathak also responded to Priyanka's remarks and said, "The network of criminals has been broken in the state. Our government is acting tough on criminals. There are incidents of crime due to enmity and prompt action is taken by police wherever crime is reported."
