In an attempt to intensify agitation against the tainted engineer Yadav Singh, the State unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will hold protests in 12 major cities of the State on January 17 demanding a CBI probe into the corrupt deeds of the engineer.
State Spokesperson of the BJP Dr.Chandra Mohan said in a statement issued here on Thursday that party wants to take protest to the block level.
“The party will hold protests in 12 major cities of the State and then protests would be held at Nagar Palika Parishad and Nagar Panchayat level. This will be done with an aim to tell people how State Government is soft towards a corrupt engineer,” the BJP spokesman said.
Party’s State president lakhsmikant Bajpai will lead the agitation, he said. The party has been holding series of protests in a phased manner. Earlier, in the first phase of this series of protest, the members of legislative council and member of parliaments from the western Uttar Pradesh staged protest outside the office of Noida Development Authority on Monday last. “Now, the party will spread the agitation across the State and then take it to the block level,” the BJP spokesman said.
