Akhilesh said- if there is police on contract then... 

Akhilesh posted on X, 'After one acting DGP after another, now some 'outsourcing of police services' is being considered. If the police is on contract, then neither will it have any accountability, nor will confidential and sensitive information be prevented from leaking out.'

As the basis of his allegation, he gave the example of a private company making corona vaccine and said that this idea of ​​outsourcing should be abandoned immediately and the youth of Uttar Pradesh should be given jobs through a direct recruitment process in a regular, fair and transparent manner. Similarly, Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh said that this is a joke with the security of the state.
