Flop show: BSP

According to a release issued by the BSP’s state unit,Mulayam Singh is desperate to grab power despite the shrinking base of his party. “That is why he and his son Akhilesh Yadav rushed to Delhi leaving the party workers to their fate today,” Maurya said in the release. He said all 2,327 SP workers who courted arrest said they were forced to come out on the roads by the leaders.

The SP leaders,he said,should explain to people the reasons for their agitation,as the state has a good law and order situation. The BSP government,he said,never compromises with the law and order issue.

The government’s view is that everyone has the right to hold peaceful demonstrations. But it will not allow anyone to disturb law and order,damage government property and misbehave with people. The party also criticised Mulayam’s statement in which he had exhorted his workers to take lesson from the Egyptian revolution and bring the government to a halt.
