Lucknow,

18 June (HS): Mayawati, the leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), criticized

the Uttar Pradesh government on Wednesday for holding a normal police

recruitment campaign that was overhyped. She questioned if all communities were

fairly represented, as well as the quality and future of recruit training. Recent

police recruitment in Uttar Pradesh has been depicted as if something

spectacular has been accomplished, whereas, in truth, such recruiting efforts

are part of normal administrative work to minimize backlogs in the police

department, Mayawati stated in a Hindi post on X.

The

former Uttar Pradesh chief minister stated that the fundamental worry among

people is whether the 'Sarv Samaj' or all communities were properly represented

in the recruiting and if the recruits received enough training.

Citing

her successes, Mayawati stated, During my government, to ensure the rule

of law and justice in Uttar Pradesh, we created 1.20 lakh new posts in one go

and made police recruitment a transparent and honest process. The subsequent

law-and-order atmosphere helped individuals from all groups without prejudice,

something is badly lacking now, she noted. On Sunday, the Uttar Pradesh

government handed out employment letters to over 60,000 new police recruits in

the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath.
