BJP accuses UP government of hoodwinking people
Lucknow, Jan 29
The BJP Thursday accused the
Uttar Pradesh government of trying to hoodwink the people over its claim
of rapid industrialisation in the state.
Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) state unit spokesman Chandra Mohan rubbished claims by Chief
Minister Akhilesh Yadav that a conducive climate for investment in the
state has been created by the Samajwadi Party-led government.
He also said law and order in the state has gone from bad to worse.
The
BJP spokesman said no one was safe in the state as was evident in the
spiralling crime graph, and suggested that the state government should
focus on law and order rather than trying to fool people of the state.
"Even
in the state capital (Lucknow) loot and murders are the order of the
day," Chandra Mohan said while pointing at the murder of a woman
jeweller late Wednesday in the city.
Besides, he made fun of the
MoUs being signed by the state government, saying none has taken
concrete shape in the past two years of the Samajwadi Party rule.
Even
the predecessor government of Mayawati had signed several agreements
with private players for power generation but they all remained on
paper, he said.
The BJP leader said of the 41,000 industrial
units registered in Kanpur, 6,000 shut down in a year, suggesting that
the state government has failed to inspire and assure them enough to
carry out their business in Uttar Pradesh.
