Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took to Twitter on Tuesday night to hit out at Minister of Finance Nirmala Sitharaman after she described an answer as “UP type” during a press briefing after the presentation of the Union Budget 2022 on February 1.  This comes only days before the state will begin voting in the Assembly election.

“You did not put anything in the budget for Uttar Pradesh. But what was the need to insult the people of UP like this? Understand, the people of UP are proud to be “UP type”. We are proud of the language, dialect, culture and history of UP,” Priyanka Gandhi tweeted.

Additionally, the Uttar Pradesh Congress tweeted, “We the people of UP are proud to be ‘UP type'” with the hashtag ‘UPMeraAbhimaan’.

WHAT DID NIRMALA SITHARAMAN SAY?

On Tuesday, Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget 2022 in Parliament. Post the presentation, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi slammed the budget on Twitter and called it a ‘zero sum budget’.

In a press briefing following the budget presentation, the finance minister was asked about Rahul Gandhi’s comment. She asked Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary to respond, who said, “You said Rahul Gandhi has not understood the budget, it is actually true. Nirmala Sitharaman will answer hereafter, all I have to say is that the Budget will reap benefits for all and the same will be evident in some time.”

It is then that Nirmala Sitharaman reportedly said, “I think he has given a typical UP type answer which is good enough for an MP who ran away from UP.”

UTTAR PRADESH ELECTION

The Uttar Pradesh Assembly election 2022 will be held from February 10 onwards  in seven phases. The counting of votes will take place on March 10.

The last Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh (2017) were held in seven phases. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies had won 312 of the state’s 403 Assembly constituencies.

This time, the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls are likely to witness a four-cornered fight between the ruling BJP, Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party, the Congress and Mayawati’s Bahujan Samaj Party.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
