After
the
release
of
Mirzapur
2,
now
Mirzapur
MP
Anupriya
Patel
has
expressed
her
dismay
over
the
district
being
portrayed
as
a
violent
region.
She
also
reached
out
to
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
and
called
out
the
makers,
demanding
action
against
them.
Anupriya
Patel
also
addressed
Uttar
Pradesh
Chief
Minister
Yogi
Adityanath
and
wrote
on
Twitter,
"Mirzapur
is
under
the
leadership
of
UP
CM
Yogi
Adityanath
ji.
It
is
the
centre
of
harmony.
Through
websites
called
Mirzapur,
it
is
being
maligned
as
a
violent
region.
Through
this
series,
ethnic
disharmony
is
also
being
spread.
As
an
MP
of
Mirzapur
district,
my
demand
is
that
it
should
be
investigated
and
action
should
be
taken
against
it."

Patel's

The

drugs,
illegal
gun
trade,
and
other
practices
in
the
stride
to
gain
power
in
politics
and
revenge.
The
show
depicts
Mirzapur
as
a
nexus
of
bad
politics
where
criminals
prevail
andstars
its
own
set
of
violent
and
powerful
families
like
the
Tripathis
who
run
various
illegal
businesses.
