Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Chief Mayawati on Saturday slammed out at Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government in Uttar Pradesh over violence before rural polls in the state and said that homes belonging to Dalits are being destroyed in the Chandauli district. She also denounced the Lakhimpur Kheri incident wherein a woman was allegedly subjected to misbehaviour by BJP workers.

Taking to her official Twitter handle, Mayawati noted, "Under the current BJP dispensation, jungle raj prevails in the state which is witnessing innumerable incidents like violence in Panchayat elections and misbehaviour with a woman of Lakhimpur Kheri. Is this their rule of law and democracy? This is something to think upon."  She criticises that the Dalit community are being attacked in the state but Union and State ministers of the community are keeping mum.

Her multiple tweet went on to say: "Now like in Azamgarh district, in Barthara Khurd village of Chandauli district also, Dalits' are being harassed and their homes destroyed, is this their Dalit love? And the saddest part is still the Dalit ministers of the Central and UP government are silent, why? This is very concerning for all."
