BAREILLY: A day before chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s arrival in Moradabad, BJP MP Thakur Sarvesh Singh allegedly assaulted the general manger of Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India (ALIMCO) in Ratupura village where the CM was to hold a programme on Sunday. ALIMCO, a Kanpur-based public sector undertaking which is the largest manufacturer and supplier of rehabilitation aids in India, had organized the event where the CM was to distribute tricycles to the disabled. Ashok SN, the GM of the PSU, has now sought an appointment with Union home minister Rajnath Singh for registration of an FIR against the Moradabad MP.The incident came days after the UP CM asked his party MLAs to be careful and polite and not take law into their hands. He even reprimanded a BJP MLA in Bareilly on Sunday, asking him to” improve his listening ability”. However, there have been several incidents of BJP lawmakers assaulting government officials in the past few weeks, causing severe embarrassment to the state government.On May 8, Radha Mohan Das Aggarwal, a BJP MLA in CM Yogi Adityanath's parliamentary constituency Gorakhpur, pulled up a woman IPS officer publicly, leaving her teary-eyed. The incident was captured on camera and triggered a spate of allegations. The IPS officer later accused the BJP MLA of misbehaving with and hurling insults at her.In a similar incident on April 28, Priyanka Rawat, BJP MP from Barabanki, threatened to "skin a police officer alive". She allegedly repeated the threat to additional superintendent of police Kunwar Gyananjay Singh over phone and even repeated it at a media conference, accusing the officer of misbehaviour. “Saari malai nikalwa lungi, khaal bhi khichwa lungi (I will get all his ill-gotten wealth confiscated, I will skin him alive),” Rawat said.On April 22, an FIR was filed against Saharanpur MP Raghav Lakhanpal for leading a mob to attack the residence of a top cop. A defiant Lakhanpal claimed that he stood by the people and the administration should apologise for not performing. The MP was booked in two separate cases of rampage at the SSP's office and for rioting in general.On April 26, another FIR was filed against BJP MLA Keshar Singh Gangwar for assaulting a bank manager in Nawabganj in Bareilly. The bank manager, Harish Kumar Hyanki, was assaulted, dragged out of the branch and taken away in the MLA's vehicle. The manager and other bank staffers later submitted a plea to their seniors seeking transfer of the entire unit.Then on April 17, BJP MLA Mahendra Yadav was caught on camera purportedly thrashing toll plaza staffers in Fatehganj area of Bareilly. The legislator reportedly got furious on being asked to pay toll for the vehicles in his motorcade.Police have been dragging their feet in most of the probes against the erring lawmakers citing "political pressure". “The top cops don't want to step on the toes of politicians and this is precisely the reason why police are wary of filing FIRs against them,” a SP-rank police officer told TOI.Top police officials, however, have denied this, saying there is no preferential treatment for anyone. “We are just settling down with transfers and postings. The law will take its course irrespective of the profile of the person,” inspector general (Bareilly range) SK Bhagat told TOI.
