The Congress party has alleged that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s government has instituted a ‘one district, one mafia’ system across Uttar Pradesh, as reported by The Hindu.
The Congress party has publicly claimed that the administration of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has created a “one district, one mafia” pattern in the state. The allegation was highlighted in a statement covered by The Hindu, which quoted senior Congress leaders criticizing the alleged nexus between political authority and criminal elements.
According to the party’s remarks, the model purportedly allows a single criminal syndicate to dominate each district, thereby undermining law‑and‑order and governance. Congress officials said the trend reflects a systemic failure to curb organized crime and calls for immediate corrective action.
The accusation comes amid heightened political rivalry ahead of upcoming electoral contests. The Uttar Pradesh government has not issued a formal response to the claim, and officials from the chief minister’s office have declined to comment on the specific allegations at this stage.
