Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar on December 24 said Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is being praised across the world for improving the law-and-order situation in Uttar Pradesh.
“Before Yogi Adityanath ji took oath as Chief Minister, U.P. was a matter of grave concern both from the legal point of view and from the development point of view. But under the present CM, U.P. is a role model for law and order,” said Mr. Dhankhar, while addressing the convocation ceremony of Gautam Buddha University in Greater Noida.
In an indirect reference to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, the Vice-President said he is pained that “a parliamentarian goes to Harvard and says democracy is in danger in India”. “Let me tell you, India is the only country in the world that has constitutionally structured democracy at the village level, at the panchayat level, at the district level, at the State level, and at the Central level,” said Mr. Dhankhar, addressing the convocation.
