New Delhi: Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi and party leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra hit out at the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh on Monday, alleging that incidents of caste violence and crimes against women are rampant in the state.

  • यूपी में जातीय हिंसा और बलात्कार का जंगलराज चरम पर है।

    अब एक और भयानक घटना- सरपंच सत्यमेव ने दलित होकर ‘ना’ कहा जिसके कारण उनकी हत्या कर दी गयी।

    सत्यमेव जी के परिवारजनों को संवेदनाएँ।https://t.co/Fl3ygHUFle

Attacking the Adityanath government over the killing of a Dalit village head in Azamgarh's Basgaon, Rahul Gandhi alleged that in Uttar Pradesh, the "jungle raj" of caste violence and rape is "peaking".

"Now another terrible incident -- Sarpanch Satyamev, being a Dalit, said 'no' due to which he was killed. Condolences to the family of Satyamev Ji," he said in a tweet.

The Uttar Pradesh police have invoked the stringent National Security Act against four persons in connection with the village head's killing, which had triggered mob violence.

Satyamev (42), a Dalit and the head of Basgaon village in the Taiwan area of Azamgarh district, was shot dead last week.

In a Facebook post in Hindi, Priyanka Gandhi also hit out at the Uttar Pradesh government over the issue of security of women.

  • बुलंदशहर की घटना यूपी में कानून के डर के खात्मे और महिलाओं के लिए फैले असुरक्षा के माहौल को दिखाती है।

    ऐसा प्रतीत होता है कि प्रशासन छेड़खानी की घटनाओं को गंभीरता से नहीं लेता।

    इसके लिए व्यापक फेरबदल की जरूरत है। महिलाओं पर होने वाले हर तरह के अपराध पर जीरो टॉलरेंस होना चाहिए।

"Bulandshahr, Hapur, Lakhimpur Kheri and now Gorakhpur. Such repeated incidents have proven that the Uttar Pradesh government has completely failed in providing security to women," the Congress general secretary said, referring to reports of crimes against women in these areas.

"There is no fear of law in the minds of criminals in Uttar Pradesh," she said, adding that as a result, gruesome incidents of crime are taking place against women.

"The police and administration are neither able to provide security nor take appropriate action," Priyanka Gandhi alleged.

"The Uttar Pradesh government should review the law-and-order system and take every step to ensure the safety of women," she said.

The Congress has been alleging that the law-and-order situation is deteriorating in Uttar Pradesh under the BJP rule, a charge denied by the state dispensation.
