Addressing an august gathering of lawyers at a felicitation ceremony organized by the High Court Bar Association in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya made a significant political statement while commenting on the state's judicial tradition and law enforcement framework. Commending the legal fraternity and congratulating them on the inauguration of their new building facility, the Deputy Chief Minister hailed the glorious history of the Allahabad High Court as an invaluable asset to the country's judicial heritage. Highlighting Prayagraj as a unique confluence of spiritual faith and a rich tradition of justice, Maurya drew a parallel with democratic accountability, noting that while public representatives face the people's court every five years, he was directly placing the political verdict of the upcoming 2027 assembly elections in the hands of the legal community. Remarking on their role, he stated that lawyers fight cases for everyone, but the government is handing over its 2027 political case to their court with the firm confidence that the administration's developmental work will receive their backing, justice, and blessings.
Rule of Law, Judicial Reforms, and Prime Minister Modi's Vision for 'Ease of Justice'
Shifting focus to the transformation of the state's security apparatus, the Deputy Chief Minister sharply criticized previous administrations, alleging that the rule of law existed merely on paper while ground-level hooliganism prevailed, with Prayagraj once serving as a major hub for such activities. Underlining the Yogi Adityanath administration's zero-tolerance policy, he reiterated that no innocent citizen will ever be harassed while criminals will not be spared at any cost. Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visionary leadership, Maurya emphasized that alongside promoting 'ease of living,' the nation is witnessing a revolutionary shift toward 'ease of justice' via digital integration, upgraded infrastructure, and the scrapping of archaic colonial-era criminal laws in favor of citizen-centric codes. Reaffirming the state government's commitment to fostering robust coordination between the bar and the bench, he assured that advocates will continue to receive enhanced security, respect, and modern infrastructural support to guarantee timely and accessible justice for every citizen.
