Yogi Adityanath has failed to handle UP, should return to ‘Math’, says Congress leader Ajay Kumar Lallu

PRAYAGRAJ: Uttar Pradesh Congress president

Ajay Kumar Lallu

said here on Tuesday that chief minister Yogi Adityanath has not been able to handle the state properly and hence he should return to the ‘Math’.


“Yogi se ab pradesh sambhal nahin raha hai. The state government led by Yogi is acting like a mute spectator and cases of atrocities on Dalits are rising,” Lallu said after paying tributes to the deceased four members of a Dalit family who were brutally murdered on November 25 at Gohri village in Phaphamau police station area.

The SC/ST wing of UPCC had organised a ‘Shraddhanjali Sabha’ at Patel Sewa Sansthan, lopibagh, to pay tributes to the killed Dalits.

“The gruesome incident has exposed the deteriorating law and order in the state,” said Lallu while claiming that police were trying to cover up the incident and demanded a CBI probe.

“Congress general secretary and UP in-charge Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has been targeting the government over rise in atrocities on Dalits and other public issues while Samajwadi Party and BSP leaders are confined to their homes,” Lallu said.

Targeting Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav for not performing the responsibility of opposition despite having good number of MLAs, the UPCC chief said, “For the past four and half years, Yadav has been just issuing baseless statements and writing posts on Twitter.”

“Congress with only few MLAs played the role of real opposition in the assembly. I was sent behind the bars many times for raising voice for the people, but Akhilesh was nowhere,” Lallu said.
