Priyanka Vadra questions Yogi government's 'jungleraj' as Bulandshahr man found dead

Attacking the Yogi government for the law and order situation, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that jungleraj in Uttar Pradesh is spreading and crime has gone out of control. She also added that the situation of Coronavirus has deteriorated in the state. Citing various incidents of murder and kidnapping in Kanpur, Gorakhpur, and Bulandshahr, the Congress leader said that all these are proof of 'jungleraj' in the state.

Her tweets come against the backdrop of the kidnapping of Dharmendra Chowdhury of  Bulandshahr six days ago, and who is now found dead. Previously, in a similar case, 27-year-old Sanjeet Yadav - a pathology lab technician, was kidnapped in Kanpur and was found dead after a month.

Priyanka Gandhi has been attacking the Uttar Pradesh government over the state of law and order and the rising crime in the state. The Congress had also slammed the government over the Vikas Dubey incident and the killing of Ghaziabad-based journalist Vikram Joshi, who was shot in the head by some assailants. 

Earlier, in a Facebook post, Priyanka Gandhi had said that this is the reality of fake campaigns like the UP government's "BJP's good governance" that the day in UP starts with the murder of a kidnapped youth and the day ends with the kidnapping of a child from near a police post. "How long will this 'jungle raj' be covered up through this fake propaganda," she had said.
