BJP’s Kaushal Kishor Blames Police’s Negative Approach For Uncontrolled Crime In Lucknow

BJP MP Kaushal Kishore has blamed Uttar Pradesh Police’s negative approach for the "uncontrolled" crime in Lucknow. In a tweet, the MP from Mohanlalganj (SC) said, "Due to the negative approach of the police, crime has gone uncontrolled in Lucknow. Murder and loot are continuing unabated."

Kishore's remarks come in the backdrop of a fish seller and a property dealer being killed here in the last two days. Speaking to PTI, Kishore said, "If the working of the police is based on 'vasooli' (extortion), then the fear of police will automatically disappear. They do not listen to public representatives. This is eventually tarnishing the image of the state government."

To recall, this is not the first time that the MP has attacked the Yogi government. In a tweet on December 17, the MP had charged, "Most of the SHOs in Sitapur district are working as per their whims and fancies, which is causing problems to the common people. These people (SHOs) have signed a contract to bring a bad name to the government."
