New Delhi: Yogi Adityanath led BJP Government in the state of Uttar Pradesh has been under-fire on social media platforms lately with people claiming that the government has failed in maintaining the law and order in the largest state of the country.
The government has been specifically under the scanner of netizens ever since the encounter of gangster Vikas Dubey allegedly when he tried to escape from police custody after his arrest. Users have been referring to incidents and stats that suggest that the state government has failed in maintaining the law and order of the state.
On Friday afternoon, twitter users ran a campaign on the micro-blogging site demanding the imposing of President’s rule in the state. The users claimed that the state has become an example of lawless governance and has become a safe haven for criminals.
The campaign soon took pace and was among the top three trending hashtags on twitter India with more than 60K tweets till 5:30 pm on Thursday.
While the majority of the users shared instances and incidents to explain the state of law and order in UP and to pitch their case, others took the opportunity to troll both users and CM Yogi Adityanath and shared a picture of Yogi Adityanath being greeted by President Ramnath Kovind with the later holding Adityanath's hands with his heads down.
Former veteran Wing Commander Anuma Acharya (Retd), National Spokesperson of Samajwadi Party Abdul Hafiz Gandhi, AAP Social media team coordinator Kapil, Retired IAS Officer Surya Pratap Singh, Ex Chairperson, Child Rights commission Juhie Singh, Founder http://PIIndia.org Covid-19 National Action Group Ghanshyam Tiwari were among those who tweeted in the campaign demanding the imposing of President’s rule in UP.
Here are some of the tweets from the campaign:

Dehradun (PTI): The Uttarakhand Assembly passed a censure motion against the Congress and other opposition parties on Tuesday for allegedly blocking the passage of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026, in Parliament.
The motion, which expressed the House's formal disapproval of the opposition's conduct, triggered a massive uproar by Congress members, leading to the adjournment of the House sine die.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Subodh Uniyal moved the censure motion, citing the "uncooperative attitude" of opposition parties toward the bill seeking 33 per cent reservation for women in legislative bodies.
Addressing a special daylong session convened specifically to discuss "Nari Samman -- Rights in Democracy", Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said the bill's passage would have benefitted every political party.
Dhami noted that after delimitation, the number of Assembly seats in the hill state would have gone up to 105, with 35 reserved for women. He added that the number of Lok Sabha seats from Uttarakhand would have risen from five to seven or eight.
"The opposition fears that if women from ordinary households enter politics, the shops of dynastic politics run by certain parties will shut down," the chief minister claimed.
He compared the opposition's conduct in Parliament to the assembly in Mahabharat where Draupadi was insulted. Dhami further likened the opposition's behaviour to the "arrogance of Ravan".
The chief minister highlighted his government's initiatives, asserting that Uttarakhand was the first state to implement a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) to protect women's rights. He said the UCC freed Muslim women from practices like "halala", "iddat", polygamy and child marriage.
Leader of Opposition Yashpal Arya questioned the technical feasibility of the bill, calling the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) claims of providing reservation by 2029 "misleading".
He argued that the bill is linked to census and delimitation processes. The Congress leader said the 2026 census would conclude by 2027 and the final data publication would take two more years.
"The delimitation process will take another six years. The actual implementation of this bill is not possible before 2034," Arya said, describing the move as a strategy to protect the BJP's "political ground".
The session also saw high drama outside the Assembly gates, where Congress MLA Virendra Jati staged a protest, demanding the payment of "outstanding" dues to farmers by sugar mills.
Jati arrived at the Assembly's main gate with a tractor-trolley loaded with sugarcane and dumped it on the road. The move brought the traffic to a halt, prompting traffic and security personnel to intervene and clear the area.
Women Congress workers also staged a demonstration against the "anti-people policies" of the state government.
