Union home minister Amit Shah said on Thursday incidents of looting and murder have gone down in Uttar Pradesh as he attacked Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav for claiming otherwise while advising him to “go home and check the data”. “I was listening to Akhilesh Yadav's speech on TV, where he says that crime has increased. Akhilesh'ji, where did you bring your spectacles from? What spectacles do you use? I have brought a comparison between the 5 years of Yogi'ji and you. Dacoity has gone down by 70% in Yogi govt,” Shah said.
“Incidents of looting by using weapons have gone down by 69%. Murders went down by 30%. Deaths due to dowry have gone down by 22.5%,” Shah said.
The home minister further said that the Bharatiya Janata Party has ensured a 'riotless' state while in the previous government many riots had taken place in which youths were killed.
