Chandrashekhar Azad, a prominent Dalit leader and the founder of the Bhim Army, recently asserted that the law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh has “collapsed.” Azad’s comments come in the wake of several high-profile incidents that have cast a spotlight on the state’s handling of crime and justice.
Azad criticized the state’s administration under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, accusing it of failing to protect vulnerable communities and allowing criminal activities to proliferate. He highlighted instances of caste-based violence, increasing crimes against women, and the perceived impunity of certain groups as indicative of a broader systemic breakdown.

His remarks resonate with concerns from various civil society groups and opposition parties, who argue that despite the government’s claims of a tough stance on crime, the reality on the ground is starkly different.

The state government, on the other hand, maintains that it has made significant strides in improving security and implementing law and order. They point to initiatives aimed at modernizing the police force and swift actions taken in high-profile cases as evidence of their commitment.
Azad’s statement has fueled ongoing debates about governance and justice in Uttar Pradesh, underscoring the complex and often contentious nature of maintaining law and order in one of India’s most populous and politically significant states.
