UP's improved law and order to be double engine govt's trump card in LS polls: Yogi govt

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's relentless efforts to enhance law and order in Uttar Pradesh over
the past seven years are poised to wield significant influence in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in the state, said a statement from the government of UP on Wednesday.

The absence of a single riot in the last seven years of the government headed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the guaranteed safety of women and traders, effective action against mafias and gangsters, as well as significant transformation brought about in Uttar Pradesh's security landscape since 2017 are likely to play a vital role in helping voters make their choices during the LS elections in the state, added the statement.

I think it's worth mentioning here that the state's law and order dynamics were important in securing CM Yogi's victory in the 2022 Assembly elections as well. Now, as the 2024 general elections approach, this same factor could wield significant sway in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's quest to clinch a substantial number of seats, notably aiming for a resounding victory, potentially securing as many as 80 seats for the third consecutive time.

Owing to the strict implementation of a zero-tolerance policy towards crime and criminals, Uttar
Pradesh has not experienced a single instance of communal violence in the past seven years,
added the statement.
