Ballia (Uttar Pradesh): Aam Aadmi Party MP and its in-charge in Uttar Pradesh Sanjay Singh has accused the BJP of betraying the backward classes in the state and claimed that there is a lot of anger among the community because of the 'atrocities' of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Addressing a rally of the backward sections of the society organized by his party in Nagra area of the district on Monday evening, the Rajya Sabha MP gave a call to vote the BJP out of power, saying the country will be run according to the constitution and 'not by dictatorship'.
Singh took potshots at Adityanath, alleging that the chief minister threatens to confiscate property every day. He was referring to a tweet of the chief minister last week. 'No one can indulge in wrongful activities today. Those who want to get their property confiscated should indulge in wrongful activities,' Adityanath had said in Hindi on Twitter.
Singh, on Monday, said people are facing immense problems because of price rise and struggling to meet family expenses. In such a situation, confiscation can happen only if anybody had got anything left, he said.
'Due to the atrocities of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath there is a lot of anger among the most backward classes,' the AAP leader said. 'The BJP formed the government by luring the backward classes. But now, it is continuously snatching their rights,' he alleged and called upon the community to unite and throw the saffron party out of power.
