Lucknow: Lashing out at the Yogi Adityanath government over the killing of a lab technician in Kanpur, Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav on Friday demanded that President’s Rule be imposed in the state.
He also announced an assistance of ₹ 5 lakh for the family of the technician.
The lab technician, who was kidnapped last month, was killed within a week of being held captive and the body was thrown in a river, police said
“The news of death of man kidnapped in Kanpur is saddening. Government remained inactive after warning. Now the government should give at least ₹ 50 lakh to the aggrieved family. SP will give ₹ 5 lakh to the family,” the SP president said in a tweet in Hindi.
“Where are those with ‘divya shakti’ (divine power) and his ‘bhayotpadak’ (fear creating) ‘prabhamanda’ (aura) and his ‘gyan mandali’ (those giving him feedback)” Mr. Yadav tweeted with a hashtag “#PresidentRuleInUP”.
