आप उत्तर प्रदेश भाजपा सरकार के दावों और उनकी हकीकत का मिलान करके देखिए।
— Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (@priyankagandhi) September 24, 2019
भाजपा सरकार हर रोज अपराधमुक्त करने का ढोल पीट रही है जबकि सच्चाई ये है 22 दिनों में 12 गोलीकांड, 4 हत्याएँ। महिलाओं पर अत्याचार।
प्रदेश सरकार का अपराध पर कोई काबू नहीं है।https://t.co/n6SJZjLGu5
"Try to match the claims by the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh with reality. The BJP government everyday claims that the state has become crime-free, while the reality is that in just 22 days there have been 12 shootouts, four murders. Atrocities on women, the state government has no control on crime," she tweeted citing a media report.
