A recent attempt of senior Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi to mount an attack against the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh spectacularly boomeranged when scores of Twitter accounts of Uttar Pradesh police stations called out the lies peddled by her.
Ms Gandhi had earlier posted a tweet listing down a raft of alleged criminal incidents that had taken place across Uttar Pradesh in the span of the past two days. Taking a dig at UP CM Yogi Adityanath, Priyanka Gandhi said that while UP CM talks about the speed of UP government, the crime meter in the state is running at double its speed. She also alleged that the UP government has been trying to cover up the criminal activities taking place across the state.
यूपी के सीएम सरकार की स्पीड बताते हैं और अपराध का मीटर उससे दोगुनी स्पीड से भागने लगता है।
— Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (@priyankagandhi) August 25, 2020
प्रत्यक्षम् किम् प्रमाणम्
ये यूपी में केवल दो दिनों का अपराध का मीटर है। यूपी सरकार बार-बार अपराध की घटनाओं पर पर्दा डालती है मगर अपराध चिंघाड़ते हुए प्रदेश की सड़कों पर तांडव कर रहा है। pic.twitter.com/vaN3J5wG2T
While the tweet was meant to show the UP government in a bad light, it failed miserably when several UP Police Twitter accounts responded to Priyanka Gandhi’s tweet, exposing her for the lies purveyed in her tweet. About 14 police stations took cognisance of the incidents of crime mentioned by Priyanka Gandhi in the infographic shared by her and correspondingly responded with the latest development on the incidents that fell under their respective jurisdiction.
UP Police says important to dwell upon the cause and action in the context of crimes that occurred in the state over last 2 days
The Uttar Pradesh Police also took notice of the attempt made by the Congress General Secretary to malign the law and order situation in the state. In response to Ms Gandhi’s tweet, the official Twitter account of Uttar Pradesh tweeted that it is equally important to know the cause and action initiated in the criminal cases mentioned by her. The Police also noted that UP is the largest state in the country from the population point of view and about 24 crore of the 135 crore Indians reside in Uttar Pradesh.
