BJP, the ruling party of Uttar Pradesh, after the Lucknow police gunned down an MNC executive, blamed the violence on police officers recruited during the erstwhile Samajwadi Party Government and added that the caste-based hiring was also a reason behind the killing.
“I don’t want to get into politics at the moment, but this is a result of the police recruitment that was done by the Samajwadi Party Government on the basis of caste. The recruitment during the regime of Mulayam Singh Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav were controversial and only people from a particular caste were recruited,” said BJP Spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi.
Tripathi also expressed his sympathies with the family of the deceased and added that strict action would be taken against the culprits.
