BJP president Amit Shah on Tuesday attacked the Akhilesh Yadav-led government in Uttar Pradesh on the issue of corruption in the state.
“The Samajwadi Party came to power on the issue of BSP’s corruption but it has been more than four years and no action has been taken against BSP leaders, crime against women is at an all-time high and everyone knows about the mining scam. Regarding the Mathura clashes, how can a government claim to be ignorant of one man building his empire in the heart of the city The incident has had no impact on the government which has revealed complete insensitivity on the issue,” he told reporters here on Tuesday.
Mr Shah said the BJP would now launch a campaign against land-grabbing and aggrieved parties would be welcome to inform the party about such instances. “We will fight it through the legal system,” he said.
Replying to questions on the Dadri incidents, the BJP president said, “Why blame us Dadri is in Uttar Pradesh, the police belong to the state, the officials belong to the state and the forensic laboratory also belongs to the state. We have nothing to do with the panchayat held there,” he said.
As the BJP president listed the Modi government’s achievements of the past two years, he was asked to list the failures too. “We have only one failure — we have been unable to convince journalists,” he said.
