Lucknow, March 13 : Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday described the Samajwadi Party as a dispensation promoting corruption, nepotism, casteism and neglect of merit during recruitments. Yogi said between 2012 and 2017, appointments to government posts in the state were distributed among the members of only one family.
One appointment process was looked after by some influential uncle while the other was allotted to a nephew, maternal uncle or grandfather. The Chief Minister was having a face-to-face meeting with the youth during the distribution of appointment letters to 271 Block Education Officers (BEOs) in the Basic Education Council at Lok Bhavan here.
Simon Bridges and Andrew Coster spar in fiery exchange over gangs. (Video first published in February)
OPINION: I was part-way through planning this column when I received a phone call from my 26-year-old nephew, frustrated at being pulled over and questioned by police for the fourth time since Christmas for what is best described as the offence of Driving Whilst Māori. He was released without charge on each occasion, but was seeking advice as to how he might stop this from happening. I drew a blank. This was a timely reality check on my topic of choice – Police Commissioner Andy Coster’s recent references to his preference for a consent model of policing. The notion of policing by consent derives from the “Peelian principles”, the set of ideas developed by Sir Robert Peel in 1829, when founding London’s Metropolitan Police.
National Party justice spokesperson Simon Bridges has accused New Zealand Police Commissioner Andrew Coster of being a “wokester” whose commitment to “policing by consent” is out of step with the law.
The claims were in response to Coster’s avowed belief that police need to engage with the community in a nuanced manner, which includes the wider principle of policing by consent. Coster has also recently said the police “can’t arrest our way out of the gang problem”.
But Bridges should know consent is a fundamental requirement for democratic policing. In the absence of public consent, we would have an occupying force, not a police force.
