Naib Tehsildar case: Political stir in Basti to Lucknow intensifies over Akhilesh Yadav's demand for immediate action

In the unfolding case of the woman Naib Tehsildar in Basti, political dimensions have entered the arena. The female officer alleges that her colleague attempted to rape her, and despite her pleas for intervention, the police response has been lacking. The victim has now turned to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for justice, prompting a response from Samajwadi Party National President Akhilesh Yadav.

Akhilesh Yadav, in a statement, expressed concern over the delayed response to the PCS woman officer's distressing video. He posted the victim's video, demanding swift action from the Yogi government. Yadav questioned the BJP government's commitment to 'Nari Shakti Vandan,' emphasizing the serious nature of the matter.

Highlighting the broader implications, Yadav remarked on the role of administrative officers as the face of the government for the general public. The insecurity faced by officers, he argued, erodes the public's trust in the government. The Samajwadi Party has declared its support for all loyal officers and called for immediate, decisive punitive action in this case.
