NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said that before BJP came into the power in the year 2017, people of UP were disturbed and troubled by the influence of mafia and the police were unable to help the people of the state because they were helpless.The state has experienced a lot of challenges on every front, CM Yogi stated this while attending a flag off ceremony of 87 Interceptor Vehicles equipped with advanced equipment.“It was the most populous state yet lagged in the economy, recruitment, the adoption of emerging technologies, and the implementation of welfare schemes. Before 2017, people would immediately dismiss someone simply by labelling them UP-wala. We acknowledge the challenge the police faced; after all, if the political leadership lacks the resolve to make decisions, how can the law and order situation be set right. People would grovel and kneel before the mafia, and the police were helpless,” CM stated.Yogi Adityanath said the state has been freed from policy stagnation under his leadership.“Since 2017, casting aside that despair and rescuing the state from policy paralysis, we have successfully steered it toward progress. I can now state that we have implemented police reforms…we have installed over 14 lakh cameras in cities…Integrated Command and Control Centres have been established in every district, creating a new identity for them. Furthermore, the objective regarding ‘Safe City’ traffic initiatives—specifically the deployment of interceptor vehicles—has been realised,” he said.
