ETAWAH: The Samajwadi Party (SP) supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav targeted the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati over the issue of the dismissal of 22,000 policemen recruited during his government and the judgment given in favor of the dismissed policemen by the Allahabad High Court recently.
Speaking to journalists here yesterday, Yadav said that the court had passed adverse strictures against the senior officials of the state government for not discharging their duties sincerely and with responsibility in the matter of the dismissed cops. In view of the court strictures against her government, Mayawati should accept moral responsibility and tender her resignation immediately. The people of the state would not forgive Mayawati who is also the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief, for ruining the lives of the families of the dismissed policemen, he added.
Yadav further said that the BSP government was working in a revengeful mood and without paying attention to the development work. It was, instead, more interested in working for its own development. He said that if the people of the state voted for the Samajwadi Party in the forthcoming elections to the Lok Sabha and helped in electing at least 50 members of Parliament, then within few days the anti-people Mayawati government would be gone.
Addressing a public rally in his hometown Safai later in the day, Yadav again lashed out at Mayawati and alleged that the law and order situation in the state had deteriorated never like before. “Everything has collapsed from law and order to the work in the civic and police administration,” Yadav said and asked his party workers to lay siege to the offices of the government officers if they do not work legally and demand bribes.
