LUCKNOW: Taking a dig at the BJP Government in Uttar Pradesh, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati has said that “jungle raj” prevails in the state and the drumming of development is merely a deception.
In a series of tweets in Hindi, Mayawati said, “A number of people died in a boat tragedy due to an incomplete bridge over the Yamuna river in Banda. An undertrial who had been brought to Hapur for a hearing was shot dead, and now the painful incident of gangrape in Hamirpur.
These incidents prove there is jungle raj in Uttar Pradesh and the drumming of development is only a deception.” She said, overall, lack of judicious use of law in UP and fearlessness among criminal elements are proof of poor law and order. “Their (BJP government’s) development is also limited to certain districts, while there is extreme poverty and unemployment in all parts of UP,” she said.
