Muzaffarnagar: Ahead of the Assembly
elections in Uttar Pradesh next year, Samajwadi Party Monday said it would launch a movement against the Mayawati-led government from next month over various issues allegedly
resulting in deterioration of the state on many fronts.
"The SP would launch a movement against the BSP rule from
March 1 to raise the issue of corruption and the law and order
situation, especially rising crimes against women," SP
national vice president Rashid Masood said here.
Slamming the Mayawati government over the "deteriorating"
law and order situation, Masood said the common man was living
under fear while BSP was indulging in the rhetoric of
providing fearless atmosphere to the people.
"The BSP government is a failure on all fronts...the SP
is gearing up for the polls," he said.
Masood, who was union minister of state in the erstwhile
V P Singh government, accused the state police of acting as
"agents" of the ruling party.
Adding a gist to the grindmills of speculation, the
former SP MP did not rule out the possibility of a pre-poll
tie-up with "secular" parties, including Rashtriya Lok Dal
(RLD) of Chaudhari Ajit Singh, for the 2012 Assembly
elections.
