Lucknow: BSP supremo Mayawati on Wednesday advised the Yogi Adityanath government to change its “arrogant and dictatorial’ attitude. She termed the use of force on opposition leaders protesting against the Hathras case as “shameful.”
The former UP chief minister also said that a BSP delegation spoke to the family members of the Dalit woman killed in Hathras and the report she received after the talks was “sad”.
“After the Hathras gang-rape case, the BSP delegation went there on September 28 to meet the victim’s family and to know the correct facts. The delegation was called to the police station and were held to talk to them (family members). The report received after the talks was very sad, which forced me to go to the media,” Mayawati said in a tweet in Hindi.
“After this, there was misbehavior with media and lathi-charge on opposition leaders on Saturday and Sunday. This is shameful and condemnable. The government should change its arrogant and dictatorial attitude otherwise it will weaken the roots of democracy,” she added.
