Mayawati question whether this was Ram Rajya in UP

Mayawati question whether this was Ram Rajya in UP

Lucknow, Aug 24 (UNI) Reacting to chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s comment made in the State Assembly on Saturday, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati once again hit out at the Uttar Pradesh government over the law and order situation in the State and asked whether it was the Ram Rajya.
Citing recent cases of crime in some parts of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati demanded strict action against those involved in them. ``There is a spurt of crime in the state like rape of a Dalit minor in Sitapur, murder of a young man and breaking his son's hand for refusing to do bonded labour in Chitrakoot, and double murder in Gorakhpur. Is this the Ram Rajya of the government? Strict action should be taken against culprits, this is the demand of BSP," she tweeted on Monday.
Earlier, on August 18 also, BSP supremo slammed Uttar Pradesh government citing 'Extremely Pathetic' situation in the state. "The shameful incidents of oppression, rape, murder etc in the state, especially against the Dalit community, prove that the law and order situation is extremely pathetic here. The situation becomes worse when government officials try to cover it up. The government should pay attention," Mayawati tweeted in Hindi.
