Demanding the removal of UP government the state unit of BJP staged a dharna claiming that the Akhilesh Yadav government has failed to protect the lives of people and bring development to the state.
BJP leaders staged the dharna at the statue of Mahatma Gandhi at Hazratganj.
The leaders, led by state party chief Dr lakshi Kant Bajpai also gave a memorandum to Governbor Ram Naik demanding removal of the UP government over ‘deteriorating’ condition of law and order in the state.
Addressing party workers Bajpai said that the Home department is under Chief Minister who is also the minister of power department and both these departments were in tatters.
“If the CM cannot improve working in departments headed by him, one cannot expect good results from others. life is no longer safe in UP as criminals are getting political patronage from leaders of the ruling party,” he said and accused the government of being biased in providing ensuring to victims.
Bajpai said that the kin of deceased Sub-Inspector Manoj Mishra of Bareilly are unsatisfied over the amount of compensation announced by the government. There is a bias in distribution of compensation too. Chief Minister announced a Rs 30 lakh compensation to the kin of Akhlaq for the Dadri lynching and promised them flats in Noida. Besides wife of Deputy SP, Zia Ul Haq was given a government job but no such compassion is being shown towards the family of Manoj Mishra, he pointed out.
The BJP leader even alleged that the state has set a new record in gangwar, abduction, dacoity, murder, rapes and communal tension during its turbulent more than three year term.
BJP state vice-president Shiv Pratap Shukla said that lucknow has been transformed into the crime capital. Another senior leader Hridaya Narain Dixit said that attacks on fourth estate has increased. The party has taken a resolve to continue its fight against this government till it is thrown out of power.
