Claiming that there was constitutional crisis in Uttar Pradesh due to poor law and order, BSP supremo Mayawati today met Governor B.L. Joshi and asked him to recommend President’s rule in the State.
“In the present SP Government, there is a situation of constitutional crisis in UP due to poor law and order. In such a situation, President’s rule should be recommended,” Mayawati said in a memorandum submitted to the Governor at Raj Bhawan.
“Incidents of dacoity, kidnapping, and atrocities on women are on the rise in the State. Instead of giving justice to victims, the police is not even registering an FIR. The constitutional institutions are forced to settle political vendetta and used to fulfil political aspirations”, the memorandum said.
The Government, in a bid to save itself, is blaming officers and harassing them. The officials are also not able to work in a free and fair manner, Mayawati alleged, adding that it has led to disappointment.
The SP Government has turned a blind eye towards the criminal acts of ministers and SP workers, she said, alleging that the posts of state ministers are being sold and a probe should be launched into it.
Posts of different commissions like Backward, SC/ST, and Women were kept vacant for over a year, she said.
“Maximum number of people in the State Cabinet and those given the status of State ministers have criminal record and they are still continuing their activities due to which constitutional crisis arise in UP,” she alleged.
