BJP’s tenure in UP disappointing: Mayawati

Lucknow: As the BJP government completed two-and-a-half-year in Uttar Pradesh, BSP supremo Mayawati on Thursday said that the tenure of the ruling dispensation has been disappointing on the parameters of public welfare and in dealing with the backwardness of the state.

She particularly outlined that the BJP has “failed badly” in dealing with crime and law and order situation.

“The two-and-a-half-year tenure of the UP BJP government has been disappointing on parameters of public welfare and in dealing with backwardness. Especially, in dealing with crime and law and order, the government has failed badly,” she said in a tweet in Hindi.

In a follow-up tweet, Mayawati urged Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath led BJP government of working in the public interests of the state.
