BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla has praised Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath after UP Police constable Kapil Dinkar spoke about the state's law and order situation during his appearance on the second episode of Samay Raina's show India's Got Latent Season 2.

During the episode, Samay jokingly asked whether crime in Uttar Pradesh had really reduced, considering that he himself was appearing on India's Got Latent. Responding with a smile, Kapil said, "UP mein crime kam ho gaya hai. 93% apradhiyon ko, jo pakde gaye the, saza dilayi gayi hai. 5,000 se zyada Mission Shakti kendra jo banaye gaye hain, aur woh effectively kaam kar rahe hain."
