Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has targeted the Yogi Adityanath government for poor law and order and said that although leaders “may lie” on this issue, the fact remains that criminal activities in Uttar Pradesh were on the rise. “The leaders in the Uttar Pradesh government may lie while reacting to my tweet,” Priyanka said in a tweet in Hindi on Tuesday night. Reacting to one of her tweets, Adityanath had claimed during a news conference on June 30 that the crime rate in the state had come down by 20 to 35 per cent. Adityanath said Priyanka’s remark was “a case of sour grapes” because the BJP had defeated the Congress at the Centre and in the state. “The Congress leader is speaking all these things to remain in the news,” Adityanath had said.
