Mayawati seeks President's rule in UP

Lucknow : Reacting to the rape and murder of another Dalit woman in Balrampur distric, former Uttar Pradesh CM Mayawati demanded President's rule in the state.

BSP supremo felt that anti-social elements had taken over the state completely and there's no rule of law left in Uttar Pradesh.

"The Balrampur incident is a replay of what happened in Hathras. In such circumstances I request that President's rule should be imposed in the state," she said.

She said that Hathras incident had led to outrage across the nation and thought that the Yogi Adityanath government would take steps to curb such incidents from taking place.

The BSP leader further said that as Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was unable to ensure law and order in Uttar Pradesh, it would be better if he returned to his 'Gorakhnath Math'.

"The BJP should entrust the government to some another leader who can manage things better," she added.
