‘BJP’s policy is kill & rule’

Lucknow:Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav Friday alleged that the BJP’s policy is “kill and rule” and its government has left behind the British in terms of atrocities on people.

Yadav, who is on a three-day visit to the Bundelkhand region, said that every section of the society is troubled under the BJP rule.

“This government has left behind the British in terms of atrocities. Farmers are crushed to death by vehicles for opposing the government and no concrete action has been taken in the (Lakhimpur Kheri) matter so far. Those who oppose are being put in jail. Their policy is ‘maro aur raj karo’ (kill and rule),” he told a press conference here.

“There has been a rise in fake encounters under this government. For this, the BJP government has got the maximum number of notices from NHRC (National Human Rights Commission). What can be expected from a chief minister who withdraws cases against himself,” he said, targeting CM Yogi Adityanath.

Akhilesh is touring Uttar Pradesh with his “Samajwadi Vijay Rath” ahead of the assembly polls early next year.  -(PTI)
