New Delhi, February 07: Congress and BJP today lashed out at Mayawati government for the “deteriorating” law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh, saying even Dalits were not safe in the state headed by a person from the same community.
Both the parties were reacting separately to the recent incidents of atrocities against Dalit girls in Fatehpur and Banda districts.
“The law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh has completely deteriorated. Dalit girls in their own houses are no longer safe in a state where a Dalit lady is the chief minister. Can there be a worst situation for the dispossessed, the Dalits of the state?” BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said.
