UP govt 'more to blame' for Dadri incident: Mayawati

October 01, 2015 16:27

Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati today said that Uttar Pradesh government was "more to blame" for the lynching incident in Dadri, than the "unruly and criminal elements" in BJP and RSS.

The state administration never tried to seriously fulfil its constitutional duty of bringing the guilty to task, she alleged.

"More than the anarchic and criminal elements in BJP-RSS, it is the Akhilesh Yadav government which is to be blamed... not just in Dadri, but at other places too. People are out to spoil the atmosphere yet the government is not taking action against them," Mayawati said.

"The state government is neither taking action on its own nor letting the local police do the same...the main reason for this is they believe that they can survive only in such an atmosphere," she said in a press statement here.
