Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra attacked the Yogi Adityanath dispensation over the condition of 'gaushalas' (cow shelters) in Uttar Pradesh and asked if Prime Minister Narendra Modi would demand accountability from the state government over the issue. Her attack came over media reports claiming that cows from a 'gaushala' in Banda were buried alive.
On Monday, Priyanka tweeted in Hindi, “In the UP government, cows are victims of cruelty and inhumanity in gaushalas. @myogiadityanath ji, your government's administration buried hundreds of cows alive in Banda. In your government, cows are victims of cruelty and inhumanity in gaushalas." The congress leader further said, "@narendramodi ji, you are in UP today. Will you demand accountability from the UP government over the plight of gaushalas ?"
Earlier, District Magistrate of Banda, Anurag Patel had said that 134 cows and other cattle were taken from a temporary 'gaushala' in Naraini and shifted to four other temporary cow shelters on Saturday. On Monday, a report of these animals being buried alive in the forest of Madhya Pradesh was published in a newspaper. The Uttar Pradesh government has suspended an official in connection with the alleged burying alive of cows and other cattle.
