Nishad's violent remarks about police spark controversy

Sanjay Nishad, the president of the Nishad party and Uttar Pradesh's fisheries minister, has stirred controversy with a statement about using violence against police officers to advance his political career. In a video from a recent public meeting in Sultanpur, Nishad claimed he "broke the hands and legs of seven inspectors" and was proud of it. The video has gone viral, drawing criticism from various political circles. During his speech, Nishad promised to take action against anyone who falsely accuses people. He claimed he can easily escalate complaints to senior officials, including the chief minister, if justice is not served quickly. A woman in the audience had complained about local police officers, prompting Nishad's remarks. He emphasized the importance of direct communication, saying delays could cause problems. He also noted that the Nishad community now has a significant influence in politics. The Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) reacted strongly to Nishad's comments. They called for legal action against him, labeling his behavior as a reflection of the ruling BJP party's true nature. The Congress party stated that since he openly admitted to his actions, he should face consequences.
