Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati on Monday targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party government in Uttar Pradesh over the law and order issue, alleging that insecurity and discrimination regarding religion had increased during the saffron party’s tenure.
Mayawati tweeted, "Fear, corruption, discrimination and insecurity about life and property and religion are increasing continuously in Uttar Pradesh which is a big problem, and increasing continuously.
She added, "These problems are creating frustration among the people and the society and the state is lagging behind. It is very sad."
Describing the BJP's plans to provide housing to the poor as her own, she said, "In Uttar Pradesh, about 2.5 lakh poor families were provided with basic amenities under the (previous) government of BSP. And preparations were on to provide about 15-20 lakh houses, but due to the change of government, this work remained incomplete and BJP is trying to capitalise on it. What have they done?"
