RLD: Yogi govt has no moral right to remain in power

Friday, 06 December 2019 | PNS | Lucknow

Reacting to the Unnao incident in which a rape survivor was torched on Thursday morning, Rashtriya Lok Dal spokesman Anil Dubey said the gory crime showed that the Bharatiya Janata Party government was not serious on the safety of women in Uttar Pradesh.

Dubey said the Yogi Adityanath government had no moral right to remain in power after the spurt in crime against women.

“It is a heart-rending incident and has brought to the fore the brazenness of the miscreants. The spurt in crime against women in UP has only exposed the hollowness of government’s ‘Beti Padhao Beti Bachao’ campaign,” he said.

The RLD spokesman said that the government should give Rs 1 crore as compensation to the family of the victim and ensure speedy trial of the accused.

Dubey said the Unnao district administration and police denied him permission to meet the victim’s family at Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Hospital in Lucknow where the victim was brought for treatment.        

Aam Aadmi Party state chief Sabahjeet Singh demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath while reacting to the Unnao incident.

“There is a jungle raj in UP and even the Supreme Court has pulled up the state government for the poor law and order and the spurt in crime. The government has completely failed to maintain law and order and check crimes and has failed to provide safety to women,” he said.

Communist Party of India (Marxists-Leninist) state secretary Arun Kumar said that the Unnao incident had shaken people to the core.

“The goons are ruling the roost in UP these days and the government is sitting relaxed while the people are bearing the brunt of the prevailing jungle raj. In all incidents reported in the past in Unnao and Sambhal, the accused tried to kill the rape survivors to destroy evidence,” he said.

Communist Party of India state secretary Dr Girish said the Yogi Adityanath government should take moral responsibility of the Unnao incident. He said the CPI would intensify agitation if the government did not do justice to the victim.

“The government has failed on all fronts and also to curb crime. We have asked our partymen to bring these issues in public domain and expose the failures of the BJP government,” he said.
