Former chief minister Mayawati reiterated her demand for President's rule in the State due to jungle raj. She also criticized Samajwadi Party for inclusion of the family members of her former cabinet colleague Babu Singh Kushawaha and said that it showed that how the criminal and corrupt leaders are encouraged in the present regime.
''BSP never compromised with corruption or criminals and had thus removed Kushwaha. But now joining of the family members of the tainted leader in SP shows that the ruling party was bent towards corrupt leaders,'' she claimed. Talking to reporters here on Sunday afternoon, BSP supreme said that it is possible that some family member of Kushwaha contest the lok Sabha elections from SP but the party will witness the same fate as BJP did by taking him in the party during the assembly elections. '' Now the ruling party has no moral to say anything about corruption after the Kushawaha eposide,'' she further said. The former UP Chief Minister said that anarchy and jungle raj prevails in the state as criminals and goons were controlling the administration but still the UP governor B l
JOshi is not considering the BSP's demand for imposition of President's rule in the state. She requested the governor that even now he should consider her memorandum handed over to him in April last in which she demanded dismissal of SP government. She said that her party will continue to stress on imposing Presidents rule in the State till the Governor not dismissed the government.
Alleging that the government in order to harass the BSP leaders was making false corruption charges against them and former ministers, she claimed that while the crime rate has gone up and women are not safe in the state, the corruption in almost all the departments have stalled the developmental works. She also claimed that flood situation in the state was critical but there is no government relief for the affected families.
Meanwhile Mayawati claimed that she would be going to Bodhgaya on Monday after the serial blasts that rocked the Buddhist shrine on July 7. Condemning the political parties for trying to take political mileage from the terror incident, Mayawati said "The Centre as well as the state government have failed to prevent the terror activities and now the political parties are trying to take political mileage from the incident," she told reporters here. She said her party condemns the terror attack and appeals to the Centre as well as the state government to prevent such incident in future. Altogether five people, including two foreigners were injured in the eight blasts that rocked the historic city.
