"I am not saying political parties are directly involved in the conspiracy to disturb law and order in UP... some uncontrollable anti-social elements from these parties are hell bent to malign the image of the Adityanath government," Joshi said in an interaction with journalists in suburban Goregaon.
In fresh violence on May 23, one person was shot dead and two others were wounded.
"I feel that a few officers are not cooperating and are involved in it (conspiracy) as well. But Yogiji is a strong administrator and he has warned of action against the senior-most police officers if they continued with their lackadaisical approach," she said.
Responding to the charge by the opposition that cases of cow vigilantism have increased in UP since the BJP came to power, Joshi said only one such incident took place in the state.
"There are numerous welfare schemes being launched by the Centre for the uplift of women. Our predecessors did not show a political will to implement these schemes. Our government has set up Asha Jyoti Kendras in several districts to help victims of rape, acid attack, and of domestic violence. These centres will be soon set up in all 75 districts in UP," she said.
"We have undertaken many initiatives to instill a sense of security among women. We have taken measures like setting up the Rani Laksmi Bai Sanmman Kosh. We are working hard to improve sex ratio in the state and are also popularising the toll free number 181 in the state," the minister said, adding that the Women Commission of Uttar Pradesh, which has been dysfunctional, is being revamped and its "makeover" will be completed soon.
