BSP chief Mayawati demanded CBI inquiry into Mathura violence (File photo)
Lucknow:
BSP chief Mayawati today hit out at Centre and Uttar Pradesh government over Mathura violence that left 24 people dead.
"While the BJP is not performing at the Centre, the people of UP are having to deal with jungleraj (lawlessness) under the Samajwadi Party government," she said accusing Modi government of inaction.
Demanding a CBI or court-monitored inquiry into massive riots, she said, "The chief minister (Akhilesh Yadav) was not needed in Bundelkhand but in Mathura." Mr Yadav was on an official visit to Mahoba in Bundelkhand.
24 people, including two policemen were killed in clashes between police and members of a sect who had encroached on government land in Mathura on Thursday.
Questioning the BJP governor's silence, Ms Mayawati said: "Law and order is absent in state but like previous Congress governments at the Centre, the BJP government at Centre is also silent on all of this."
Slamming the programmes to celebrate two years of Modi government, the BSP chief said: "Forget about achchey din, now the bure din of government are coming (forget the promise of good days, now bad days are on the cards for the government)."
"Don't fall prey to the catchy slogas of Modi government. NDA has failed to keep its promises made before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections," she said, adding its sympathy towards the poor was "artificial and just on paper".
Claiming that her party would storm to power in Uttar Pradesh in 2017, Ms Mayawati said the ruling SP and BJP would fight for the second spot.
Hitting out at BJP President Amit Shah for sharing food with Dalits in Varanasi, she said such "gimmicks" do not work or get translated into votes.
