UP News: Rahul Gandhi Slams UP Government Over Mangesh Yadav Encounter | ABP News

Political tensions have escalated in Uttar Pradesh following the encounter of Mangesh Yadav in Sultanpur. The incident has sparked outrage, with Mangesh Yadav's family accusing the police of brutality and questioning the fairness of the encounter. Opposition leaders, particularly from the Congress party, have seized on the issue to criticize the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and a Congress MP, has taken to social media to condemn the BJP. On X (formerly Twitter), he stated that the law and order situation in BJP-ruled states has deteriorated significantly. Gandhi accused the BJP of disrespecting both the law and the Constitution, particularly highlighting the Sultanpur encounter as an example. He emphasized that the tears of Mangesh Yadav's family raise a crucial question for the entire nation: "Who decides who lives and who dies— the courts or the police?" This statement reflects the broader concern that extrajudicial killings are becoming normalized under BJP rule, further intensifying the political debate surrounding law enforcement practices in Uttar Pradesh.
