Jaipur: Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Sachin Pilot on Thursday criticised UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for politicising Congress' proposal of providing 1000 buses to ferry migrants back to their home state.
"It appears that UP government is not inclusive of change and growth. The Congress party is doing everything in its capacity to help migrant workers. After Priyanka Gandhi asked party workers to help stranded labourers, all the Congress workers got united to arrange a free bus ride for migrants," Pilot added.

Deputy CM of Rajasthan further said that the centre along with UP governmentt don't bother about the migrant workers. "The state govt is playing games and has purposely arrested Ajay Kumar Lallu. Instead they should welcome our efforts. Sadly, the centre is on backfoot regarding the movement of migrant workers from Rajasthan to Uttar Pradesh," he elaborated.
This followed after Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajay Kumar Lallu was arrested by Agra police for staging a sit-in protest demanding that buses his party arranged to ferry back migrants to their home, be allowed to enter UP.
