Hardworking CMThe chief minister works as hard as the Prime Minister, puts in 16 to 18 hours a day and has a tight grip over the administration. Nothing escapes his eyes.The reality is that there is over-centralisation of authority as at the Centre; and no decision is taken without the CM’s nod, which invariably delays decision-making reflecting poor governance. This ‘policy paralysis’ becomes evident at every critical time, from Hathras to Lakhimpur Kheri.Law & OrderThe Prime Minister and Home Minister have publicly praised Yogi for maintaining law and order in the state. Criminal activities have declined, mafia bosses have fled the state and free hand to the police to eliminate criminals have paid dividend.In reality, extortion, kidnapping, rape and robbery have been extensive even during the lockdown. While in absolute terms the numbers showed a decline because of the lockdown, a section of the police went rogue and became extortionists. Peace could not be maintained even during the panchayat election. Women do not feel safe.
