Crime rate down by 4.9% in Raj since BJP came to power: CMO
1 2 Jaipur: The Chief Minister's Office (CMO) Sunday released crime statistics that said Rajasthan recorded a 4.9% decline in crime during the first 18 months of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma's tenure. The figures compare the last 18 months of the previous Congress govt led by Ashok Gehlot (July 2022 to Dec 2023) with the first 18 months of the current BJP govt (Jan 2024 to June 2025). "The data shows a decline from 4,68,905 registered criminal cases during the previous regime to 4,45,915 cases under the present govt," the official CMO statement said. The CMO also reported a sharp decrease in major crimes. Murder cases dropped by 12.96%, dacoity by 25.45%, and robbery by 22.46% compared to the same period under the Gehlot govt, it said. "There was also a 6.55% decline in rioting, 14.06% in burglary, and 19.95% in theft," the statement added. "Notably, crimes against women reduced by 9.24%, while atrocities against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes decreased by 17.8% and 18.77%, respectively." A senior official at CMO said the drop in crime was the outcome of "multi-pronged and sustained policy interventions," including the establishment of specialised task forces, modern policing infrastructure, and strengthened coordination at the district level. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Shortly after taking office in Dec 2023, CM Sharma ordered formation of an Anti-Gangster Task Force to crack down on organised crime, and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate paper leak cases that plagued previous recruitment processes.

"Insulting": Mamata Banerjee On Delhi Police Terming Bengali As "Bangladeshi National Language"
Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee on Sunday lashed out at the Delhi Police for referring to the Bengali language as "Bangladeshi national language" in a purported letter, alleging that it was "insulting, anti-national and unconstitutional". The letter, linked to an investigation of a case under the 'Foreigners' Act', was written to the officer-in-charge of Banga Bhawan, the official guest house of the state government in the national capital. The Trinamool Congress supremo described the Centre as anti-Bengali and urged all to stage protests against such "anti-Constitutional language to insult and humiliate Bengali-speaking people of India". "See now how Delhi Police under the direct control of the Ministry of Home, Government of India, is describing Bengali as "Bangladeshi" language!" Banerjee posted on her Facebook account, sharing a copy of the letter. Banerjee said that Bengali is not only her mother tongue but also the language of Rabindranath Tagore and Swami Vivekananda. She also said that Bengali was the language in which both India's national anthem, 'Jana Gana Mana' by Tagore and national song 'Vande Mataram' by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay were written. "... the language in which crores of Indians speak and write, the language which is sanctified and recognised by the Constitution of India, is now described as a Bangladeshi language!!" Banerjee said. "Scandalous, insulting, anti-national, unconstitutional!! This insults all Bengali-speaking people of India. They cannot use this kind of language, which degrades and debases us all. We urge immediate, strongest possible protests from all against the anti-Bengali Government of India who are using such anti-Constitutional language to insult and humiliate the Bengali-speaking people of India," she said. Earlier in the day, the TMC posted a letter, in its X handle, claiming that the police officer in charge of the investigation has written to the Banga Bhawan in the national capital, seeking a translator for "Bangladeshi national language" following the arrest of eight people, suspected to have illegally crossed over into India from the neighbouring country.
