Lucknow, 12 August

(H.S.): On the second day of the monsoon session of the Uttar Pradesh

Legislative Assembly on Tuesday, Samajwadi Party members raised the issue of

law and order in the Legislative Council. Leader of the House Keshav Prasad

Maurya responded to this. Not satisfied with the answer, SP members walked out

of the House. Responding to the questions of the opposition, Deputy Chief

Minister of the state Keshav Prasad Maurya said that ever since the BJP

government has been formed in Uttar Pradesh, the public has heaved a sigh of

relief. Before 2017, criminals and mafias were dominant in Uttar Pradesh.

Action was not taken against criminals during the rule of SP. Currently, the

law and order of the state is well. If a crime occurs, action is also taken

against it. When the issue of law and order was raised by SP in the Legislative

Council, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said that earlier criminals

used to get political protection. Criminals had access to even the Chief

Minister's residence. There was an atmosphere of fear in UP during the SP

regime. Before the 2017 elections, the Samajwadi Party had reached the skies of

arrogance. The public felt that if the SP government comes, the same situation

will arise again. SP's wishes are not going to be fulfilled. SP is a sinking

boat. Whatever happened in 2017 will happen in 2027. SP did the work of

bringing the corrupt and criminals forward in politics. During the SP regime,

no festival was celebrated safely. The wind of fraud has gone out. Lotus has

bloomed in Haryana, Maharashtra and Delhi. In 2027, the BJP government will be

formed again for the upliftment of the poor.

Earlier, the Leader of

Opposition Lal Bihari Yadav said that in UP, the protectors have become

predators. The graph of crime in UP is ahead of other states. Incidents of

women harassment have increased in Uttar Pradesh. Women are not safe. The state

capital Lucknow is witnessing the highest number of criminal incidents. Where

is the zero tolerance policy? On paper, the law and order situation in UP is

good. Police stations and tehsils have become centres of corruption.

Member Kiranpal Kashyap

said that the officers are unbridled. Law and order has failed. The poor are

encroaching upon their lands. Tubewell cables and transformers are being stolen

in western Uttar Pradesh. The rights of OBCs are being violated in the state.

The state government is sleeping and the entire administration is involved in

corruption.

Member Mukul Yadav said

that law and order has collapsed in UP. Criminal incidents are increasing day

by day. Every day 10 murders and nine rape incidents are happening. Uttar

Pradesh ranks first in atrocities on Dalits, custodial murders, and domestic

violence. Law and order is turning into jungle raj.
