Beni: SP failed to protect Muslims

Muslims helped them the Samajwadi Party form the government,but they have failed to provide them even proper shelter or clothing. Beni told reporters in Lucknow.

He added: Since the UP government has failed in its responsibility,the Steel Ministry would distribute blankets and woollen clothes to children. Five camps of steel would also be established at riot-hit areas to give proper shelter to homeless from the cold.

Alleging that the riots were instigated by those who trade votes,Beni said the state government should resign from power.

Beni said UP has failed to usher in industrialisation only because of the Mandir-Masjid issue while again referring Mulayam as Mussolini and BJPs prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi as Hitler.

When asked about the possibility of an alliance between the BSP and Congress for the Lok Sabha elections,Beni denied any such possibility. Till the time I am here,there can be no other alliance other than with Ajit Singh in UP.

Hinting at the SP governments efforts to develop a Lion Safari in Etawah by bringing lions from Gujarat,Beni advised Mulayam to concentrate on saving the lives of human beings rather than that of animals.
