Tighten law and order machineries in UP

Since the BJP government of Chief Minister Yogi Aditynath came to power in Uttar Pradesh, no sign of improvement on law and order front in the state has been seen. Rather, it has deteriorated sharply. It appears that law and order is an insurmountable problem in the state. The people of Uttar Pradesh had been yearning for good governance and law and order in the state for the last 15 years. Mulayam- Mayawati- Akhilesh Yadav government in the last 15 years before this assembly election in the state was known for all sorts of misgovernance. People were very much vexed and troubled because of deteriorating law and order in the state. So, they wanted to change in government. To get rid of anti-social and criminal elements, people voted BJP to power with a massive mandate. The five-time MP and Hindutva face of the BJP Yogi Adityanath was elected the leader of the ruling legislature party leader and was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. As Yogiji appears to be a hard taskmaster, people expected that he would tighten the law and order machinery immediately. The criminal elements will be driven away from the state as Yogi's administration was not expected to tolerate any nonsensical act. But the reality on the ground even in the BJP regime of CM Yogi Adityanath tells a different story. Murder, rape extortion, theft, loot, kidnapping etc. continue to take place in the state as it used to happen in the previous regimes. They have become the order of the day. Political executive in the democracy is the boss of bureaucrats. Bureaucrats cannot move a step without taking orders from their political bosses. Yogi Aiditya Nath is the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. It is not a general state but the largest among states. It is a politically most important state in the country. Since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister, he started cleanliness campaign by taking the lead from the front to sweep the dirty corners in the city. PM or CM has much more tasks to work out than mere cleaning the Verandah, road, and courtyard. If the political executives are so much concerned about the cleanliness in the surrounding, they can easily take a personal interest in entrusting the task to the person concerned from the civic body. The time of PM and CM is very precious. It must not be squandered. If the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had spent time with police officials of the state in regard to tightening the law and order situation, India would not have been defamed outside in the foreign country for the assault on a Swiss couple at Fatehpur Sikri, near Agra. So, Mr. Chief Minister it would be better if you had visited some police stations to ask them why the incident of crime is not controlled. Whatever happened with the Swiss couple must be condemned by one and all. UP police must bring the culprit back to justice. Five persons have reportedly been arrested in connection with the assault on a Swiss couple at Fatehpur Sikri, near Agra. The attack on foreigners is so serious that even External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has also sought a report on it from the state government. It is the total failure of the Yogi govt. As law and order is a state subject, the state govt. must be held responsible for its failure.
