There was discussion that in view of the Lok Sabha elections, DG CBD Vijay Kumar could be made acting DGP. For the post of new police chief of the state, either one of DG Cooperative Cell Anand Kumar and Vijay Kumar was to be selected. Today Chief Minister Yogi stamped the name of IPS Vijay Kumar. Prior to this, despite brainstorming at the government level on Monday, the proposal for the selection of the new chief of the police department could not be sent to the Union Public Service Commission.
State has not been able to get full time DGP for one year
Uttar Pradesh, the country’s largest state, has to run its work with the help of an acting DGP for the last one year. On 11 May 2022, full-time DGP Mukul Goyal was suddenly removed. After this, DG Intelligence DS Chauhan was made acting DGP. DG Police Recruitment Board RK Vishwakarma was made acting DGP after the retirement of DS Chauhan on 31 March 2023. RK Vishwakarma retired on 30 May 2023. Now IPS Vijay Kumar has been appointed as acting DGP. The BJP government of UP has been on the target of the opposition regarding this. Leader of Opposition in the Vidhansabha Akhilesh Yadav has often been besieging the government by commenting on it.
