Jaipur (Rajasthan): Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot on Wednesday said that it is unfortunate that the Uttar Pradesh government is not allowing buses for migrant workers.

"If Congress is arranging food and buses for people, every government should welcome it. Not giving permission at borders, arresting leaders and doing petty politics, is it justified? It is unfortunate that the Uttar Pradesh government is not allowing buses," Pilot said.

Earlier, Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi had lashed out at the UP government for not letting the buses arranged by the Congress enter the state to ferry migrants. He stated that the Yogi Adityanath government is indulging in "cheap politics".
