Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati has alleged that incidents of violence, including misbehaviour with women and Dalits during the ongoing panchayat polls, proved that a jungle raj was prevailing in Uttar Pradesh.
In her tweets on Saturday, Mayawati said, "In the present Bharatiya Janata Party government in UP, there is no law but jungle raj is going on, under which innumerable violence in panchayat elections and misbehaviour with a lady of Lakhimpur Kheri is also very shameful. Is this their rule of law and democracy? This is something to think about."
She further says, "Now like in Azamgarh district, in Barthara Khurd village of Chandauli district also, Dalits' homes are destroyed and oppressed by the oppressors, is this their Dalit love? And the sad thing is that still the Dalit ministers of the Central and UP governments are silent, why? This is very concerning for all."
