According to Union home minister Amit Shah, incidents of looting and murder have gone down in Uttar Pradesh. He slammed Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav for claiming otherwise while advising him to “go home and check the data”.
“I was listening to Akhilesh Yadav’s speech on TV, where he says that crime has increased. Akhilesh’ji, where did you bring your spectacles from? What spectacles do you use? I have brought a comparison between the 5 years of Yogi’ji and you. Dacoity has gone down by 70% in Yogi govt,” Shah was quoted as saying.
He said that incidents of looting by using weapons have gone down by 69%, while murders went down by 30% and deaths due to dowry have gone down by 22.5%.
The home minister further said that the Bharatiya Janata Party has ensured a ‘riotless’ state while in the previous government many riots had taken place which killed many youths.
“Modi did what the country could not do in the past 70 years. He repealed 370 from the constitution. He provided justice to Muslim women by repealing triple talaq. Samajwadi party used to satire us in 2014 that Ram Mandir banayenge, lekin tithing nahi batayenge. But a grand ram Mandir is now being built,” Shah said.
Amit Shah’s remarks came as he laid the foundation for Maa Shakumbhari Devi University in Saharanpur’s Behat Assembly constituency, just months ahead of the state Assembly elections
