Congress and its UPA allies LJP and SP on Thursday (Dec 25) slammed the Mayawati government in Uttar Pradesh as demand for her resignation grew louder in the wake of the murder of an engineer allegedly by a BSP MLA.
Samajawadi Party (SP) Chief Mulayam Singh reacted saying there is indeed no need for a CBI inquiry as it is a clear case of murder orchestrated by Shekhar Tiwari and his men.
“The BSP isn’t interested in improving the law and order situation in the state. It’s a fact that Manoj Gupta has been murdered. There is no need for a CBi inquiry. It’s a clear case of murder orchestrated by the MLA and his men,” he said.
Accusing the Mayawati government, Mulayam Singh said, “Mayawati government is involved in extortion activities. The killing of the PWD engineer is not the first case of murder. So many such incidents happened before. And the lawless of this government is such that it does not initiate proper investigation.”
LJP chief and Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan demanded resignation of the Chief Minister and a CBI rpt CBI probe into the killing and was supported SP General Secretary Amar Singh. “There are no differences among SP, Congress and LJP over this issue. We are together. LJP is in touch with Congress and SP leaders and we will organise a joint protest,” Paswan told reporters.
At a separate press conference Amar Singh asked Home Minister P Chidambaram to “wake up” to the incidents in UP. “I have already briefed external affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee and Ahmad Patel, the political advisor to UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi regarding the developments in UP,” he said.
Singh also dared the Chief Minister to resign and face legal action and declared that the birthday of Mayawati on January 15 will be observed as counter condemnation day. The Congress meanwhile charged the BSP government with indulging in loot and extortion and said that even the bureaucracy has joined hands with the ruling party leaders there.
“Independent India has not seen such open loot and extortion..Issuing threats to beat somebody and then beating them up has become common in the state,” AICC General Secretary in-charge of UP Digvijay Singh said.
