Meanwhile, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who is also in charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh, on Sunday urged the state BJP government to prevent such crimes. “The law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh is out of administration’s control. The BJP government’s intention is to cover up such crimes. This is the incident of my home, Amethi. Will the BJP government find a solution to this problem or keep on sleeping?” she tweeted.
