BJP govt has crossed all limits of

Kannauj (UP), Mar 26 (UNI) Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Uttar Pradesh has "crossed all limits of corruption and loot" in the last eight years.
While talking to the reporters after participating in the 1108 Kundiya Mrityunjay Maa Pitambara Maha Yagya in the boarding ground of Kannauj, Akhilesh said, "Corruption and loot increased so much that when the eight year was over, the police had to file an FIR to arrest their IAS. This is the first time in the history of the country that when the government is pretending to celebrate, an IAS steeped in corruption linked to the top of the power has gone underground."
He said that this is the first government whose MLAs are openly demanding change. "BJP MLAs are accusing the government of corruption and dishonesty. An MLA has gone further and is demanding to send Baba Ji (Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath) out of UP. He is saying that UP does not need him. Another MLA from Basti is saying that he has never seen so much corruption," he alleged.
