Amitabh Bachchan is the brand ambassador for UP. In that capacity, it is his job to present the state in a positive light. Moreover, when Big B says 'jurm yahan hain kam', he says this on the basis of the National Crime Record Bureau report, which is brought out by the Central government. Analysing the report, one can see that the per lakh population crime rate in UP is less than in 31 other states including Delhi and other so-called crime-free states. Nithari, of course, was a tragedy that cannot be ignored. But, even though the Samajwadi Party has qualified as a party that takes/gives support from/to criminals, it had apparently little to do with Nithari (Of course, if one conducts an impartial inquiry one could find links perhaps). So merely admonishing Amitabh Bachchan or harping over Nithari cannot be constructive. It is our state and we all are responsible for the situation.
