Several Twitter users made a hashtag of Adityanath's statement as they tweeted about the alleged encounter in Jhansi.
'Dubey was a desperate criminal.' 'I don't discount the possibility of him trying to disarm the cops and escape.'
'Election expenses run into several crores. And that is where people like Dubey come in handy to finance elections, indulge in booth capturing and to do the dirty job of politicians.'
