Lucknow: Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohiya) chief Shivpal Yadav’s security has been downgraded from the Z category to the Y category, as per Uttar Pradesh Police.

According to reports, earlier he had Z category security, which has now been reduced to Y category. The decision on the security category of Shivpal Yadav was taken in a meeting of the State Level Security Committee. Superintendent of Police Administrative and Security Vaibhav Krishna gave the order.

The decision has been made a few days before the Mainpuri Lok Sabha by-election to be held on December 5. The seat has been in favor of the Yadav family for a long time.

According to media reports, after meeting CM Yogi Adityanath in the year 2018, Shivpal Yadav was given Z category security.

SP spokesperson Sunil Singh Saajan said that this matter is completely political and it shows the defeat of BJP in Mainpuri. BJP had earlier increased the security of Shivpal Yadav out of greed, but now when he met Akhilesh Yadav and the entire Samajwadi family is united in the elections, the BJP government withdrew his security, as reported by news agency ANI.

SP spokesperson Amiq Jamai also targeted the BJP on this matter and said that this decision is a compromise with Shivpal’s security who is a senior leader of the state. Such a reduction in his security is just a political revenge that BJP will take from him.

On the allegation of Samajwadi Party, BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi said that this matter has nothing to do with politics. The decision of security category is completely based on the report of Intelligence Agency and Security Review Committee which has nothing to do with politics and Shivpal Yadav is still having Y category security which is not a lesser category.

In Z class security, there are a total of 22 jawans from NSG, CRPF & ITBP. It is given to ministers, MPs and VIPs.

In Y class security, a total of 6 to 8 jawans are involved. These include 2 commandos and rest of the local police personnel. This security is given to legislators and others.
