New Delhi: The Centre on Friday asked the Uttar Pradesh government to increase the security provided to Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi during his visits to the state.

In a letter to the UP government, the union home ministry also expressed its unhappiness over the security provided to Rahul Gandhi by the state government.

The letter said Rahul’s security had been compromised on several occasions by the UP government.

The Home Ministry also cited the lack of police presence on the national highway and instances of unknown vehicles entering his cavalcade during Rahul’s tour.

Rahul and his sister Priyanka are scheduled to visit Amethi on Friday.

The Uttar Pradesh Police has reassured that this time round there will be no such failings on the security front. (ANI)

Put every Indian politician in bullet proof glass cage and bury in ten feet hole for their safety. Indian will be happy place to live in. There is danger from terrorists, Maoists, Jehadists and country surrounded by enemies countries from all sides i.e Pakistan, China,Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar( Burma) and these idiots are concerned about their own safety? Wake up if India is not safe you can not be safe. If Aam Admi does not feel safe you can not be safe even if you are surrounded by army of armed security guards. Why only politicians life is more sacred to be saved?

If the politicians took half as much interest in the security of the country and the people in general there will be no need to worry about their own security but they are obsessed with their personal security while caring little for the nation`s security.
