Yogi accuses previous govts of ‘conspiring’ to end key UP police force

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath alleged that he has realised a big conspiracy was made to sabotage the state’s security by the previous state governments by hatching a conspiracy to end the Provisional Armed Constabulary (PAC) on Tuesday.

“Conspiracies were made to eliminate the PAC force of UP, after which 54 companies were terminated. While watching the parade today, I realised what a big conspiracy to sabotage the security of UP was made… with an attempt to deprive the youth of this service,” CM Adityanath said while addressing a public meet during the ‘Convocation Parade Ceremony-2022’ of PAC Recruit Reserves at Reserve Police Line on Tuesday. Congratulating the PAC recruited constables on their successful training, the UP CM added, “We all know how a huge number of police and PAC posts were pending for recruitment when the new government was formed in 2017. In the past five years, we have succeeded in recruiting and training more than one lakh 62 thousand police constables.”

Terming the “shut down” of at least 54 companies as a “conspiracy” to hamper the security in UP, CM Adityanath said that he has realised the conspiracy to refrain the youth of the city from serving the state and the country—only after he witnessed the parade.

“I am satisfied that within five years, we have recruited and connected more than 1 lakh 62 thousand youth of UP to the state police and BSE, by enhancing the capacities of the training centres, providing them the most successful training, by taking-in important steps to modernise the police force,” Adityanth said.

Welcoming and congratulating the trained constables now, he added, “Because of the six months of successful training, the convocation parade is being organised in 87 centres in UP. On this occasion, I welcome the brave youth, congratulate their families and pray for their delightful future.”
