“Corruption and crime are at their peak in Uttar Pradesh. Murders, robberies, thefts, dacoities, and rapes are happening every day. The government’s claim of zero tolerance on law and order, crime, and corruption is completely false,” he said in statement issued during the day.

“In Sitapur, a retired revenue officer’s family was held hostage and robbed of 17 lakh. In Ambedkar Nagar, a woman was brutally murdered in broad daylight. In Etah district, four members of a family were brutally murdered in broad daylight on Monday. Protecting criminals is the real story of BJP members and the police,” he claimed.

“Neither crime nor corruption can be stopped under the BJP government. Uttar Pradesh ranks number one in the country in crimes against women and cybercrime. The BJP government is responsible for this,” the SP chief alleged.
