AGRA: On Tuesday during his visit in Agra to meet party’s former national general secretary, Ramjilal Suman former CM Akhilesh Yadav targeted Yogi Adityanath regime for failing to curb crime, especially against women.

Speaking to media, ex-CM Akhilesh said, “The law and order in the state has worsened. Now people feel insecure and there is a sense of chaos and fear among them. Even in the jails, inmates are been shot dead, how can a common man feel safe on roads. I believe after independence the crime graph in state is at its acme in BJP regime. One should check crime data also to see the truth.”

Citing the case of Sanskriti Rai, a 20-year-old polytechnic student who was looted and murdered by four men on June 22 in Lucknow’s Madison area on IIM road, Samajwadi party president said, “One can gauge the law and order situation by the fact, that a girl who was returning home was brutally killed in state capital, imagine what kind of kind crimes would be happening in other parts of state with women. The women in BJP regime are more insecure than ever before.”

He said, “If the government wants they can resolve the law and order situation by appropriately using dial 100 facility. They just need to give good leadership and environment to dial 100.”

Further, the MP of Kannuaj constituency alleged, that, current BJP government is taking credit for work done by Samajwadi party regime. “They are laying foundation stones for Purvanchal expressway and inaugurating other projects like Samsung factory in Nodia, which we had already done during our tenure. It was our efforts which brought development in the state,” said ex-CM, who credited himself for making Agra-Lucknow expressway in record time and landed fighter planes.

“The corruption level in the Yogi regime has raised, he came with a broom to clean city of Taj and complaint about polluted Yamuna , but nothing has changed. One can still clearly see how city is suffering from dumped garbage and other problems,” said Akhilesh Yadav.
