Akhilesh Yadav slams BJP for poor law and order situation in UP
Lucknow, April 21: Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday has criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), claiming that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is busy being a star campaigner in poll-bound Karnataka while his administration in Uttar Pradesh has been battered by criminals.
Yadav said that criminal activities are happening in broad daylight while the BJP has mastered the art of false propaganda and is wasting its time by claiming the works of the Samajwadi government as its own.
"Criminal activities are happening in broad daylight but it is claimed that law and order are fine in the state. The public has also come to know that BJP has mastered the art of false propaganda," the Samajwadi Party chief said on Friday. The government has nothing to show its work, so it is wasting its time by telling the works of the Samajwadi government as its own, he added.
"The situation of Jungle Raj is in Lucknow. Miscreants robbed a woman's chain at gunpoint in broad daylight in Krishna Nagar. Rs 13 lakh was looted from a businessman in the Kaiserbagh area. A contract worker extorted money from the girl in the name of a job and raped her. The miscreants looted the gold garland of an old man at Buddheshwar temple in Para," Akhilesh Yadav alleged.

Yadav provided examples of criminal activities in UP, including a woman's chain being robbed at gunpoint, a businessman being robbed of Rs 13 lakh, a contract worker extorting money from a girl and raping her, a teenager being raped in the Antu police station area, a bus driver molesting a BSC student, two sisters being dragged, beaten and behaved obscenely, and five BJP goons setting fire to a victim's house after she was released from jail.
"These incidents are just for counting. Every day incidents of loot, murder, molestation and rape happen in the state. In most cases, instead of helping the victim, the police work to create pressure in favour of the criminal elements. Due to poor investigation and negligence in prosecution, all the criminals are left free. Law and order are badly messed up under the BJP rule," he said.
"Women and girls are unsafe. The public is tired of all this. By teaching a befitting lesson to the BJP in the civic elections itself, she will write the advance script of the BJP's defeat in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections," Akhilesh Yadav said.
Yadav said that the people of Uttar Pradesh are tired of the poor law and order situation and women and girls are unsafe, adding that by teaching a befitting lesson to the BJP in the upcoming civic elections, the people will write the advance script of the BJP's defeat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
