Lucknow: Days after rejoining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Uma Bharti will stage her first demonstration against the Mayawati government in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri district on Saturday, a party official said.
Bharti, who returned to the party after six years of estrangement, will lead the BJP's sit-in to protest the "deteriorating law and order and crime against women in Uttar Pradesh".
"During the sit-in, we would primarily oppose the police atrocities on women and girls, particularly the brutal murder of the girl who was allegedly raped by the cops inside the Nighasan police station," BJP's state spokesperson Vijay Pathak told reporters here.
According to party officials, Bharti is expected to have a night stay in Lakhimpur Kheri. She will visit the party office in Lucknow on Sunday.
The death was initially dismissed by police as a suicide, but a second autopsy confirmed the girl was strangled.
At present, the crime branch of the crime investigation department is probing the murder case.
