After sacking Fisheries Minister Jamuna Nishad in connection with Maharajganj police station violence, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Tuesday warned her party MLAs, MPs and ministers against taking law into their hands.

“Anyone who will take law into his hands will be brought to the book and will have to face same fate as party MP Umakant Yadav (who was expelled from the party and arrested by the police in land grabbing case) and minister Jamuna Nishad,” Mayawati is understood to have told party leaders at a meeting at her official residence in Lucknow.

Mayawati spoke to MLAs, MPs and ministers against whom various complaints including that of misbehaviour with officers had reached her secretariat.

Mayawati asked them to report about District Magistrates and Superintendent of Police and other officers who were not doing their job.

“The Samajwadi party government lost power due to its failure to check crime and criminals in its regime. I did not want such a senario to recur during my government,” she said.

Mayawati reviewed preparations for the coming Loksabha polls and urged the leaders to pull up their socks and reach common man.

Cautioning the party leaders, she said anti-BSP forces were joining hands and they should answer their propaganda with all the zeal and courage.

Replying to the allegations of Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav that there were 22 ministers with criminal background in the BSP government, Mayawati said Yadav should remember about such ministers in his regime.

“We (BSP) believe in positive politics for the welfare of common man,” she said.
