People in BJP, govt & admin involved in cow slaughter, claims SP president | Lucknow News
Lucknow: Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday alleged that people within the BJP are involved in slaughter and smuggling of cows in connivance with the govt and the administration.He said a thorough probe into the murder of a NEET aspirant in Gorakhpur by cow smugglers would expose the fact that people in the administration were hand in glove with the perpetrators of the crime.Responding to a query on Gorakhpur murder during a press conference, the former UP CM condemned the crime and said: “The young man tried to stop cow smugglers and was brutally murdered. Common people, not political activists, were the ones who took to the streets to stage a protest,” Akhilesh said.The SP chief said if cow smugglers were roaming and operating freely in Gorakhpur after nine years of claims of zero tolerance for crime by the BJP govt, it proved hollowness of such declarations. “If such incidents are happening in Gorakhpur, the home district of the Chief Minister, one can imagine what the situation would be in the rest of the state,” he said.“Gokashi karane wale log BJP ke andar hain aur sarkar, prashasan mil ke kara raha hai. Jo ghatna Gorakhpur ki hui hai, sachai yehi niklegi ki unke prashasan ke log hi mile hue hain (People within the BJP are involved in cow slaughter and govt and administration are hand in glove. In the Gorakhpur incident, truth will emerge that the administration had connived with the perpetrators),” Akhilesh alleged.He claimed that earlier too fingers were raised at BJP people for encouraging cow smuggling and many made heavy investments in related businesses.Former member of the planning commission and senior party functionary Prof Sudhir Panwar attributed the rise in crime to the direct collusion of criminals with certain BJP functionaries. “It seems that unscrupulous elements have realised that the BJP govt is at its fag end and are convinced that Samajwadi Party will form the govt in 2027. So, they are working overtime to make hay while their sun shines,” Panwar said.
