Lucknow, Apr 4 (UNI) Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav on Friday alleged that not only in Gorakhpur, Ayodhya, Lucknow or Kanpur, but in reality, many 'commissionerates' of land mafia have been formed under the rule of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the entire Uttar Pradesh.
In a statement issued here, Akhilesh said that permanent land mafia protected, sponsored, and nurtured by the BJP are active on charitable land or ponds, while temporary land mafia are doing illegal work in broad daylight in illegal mining or deforestation. "Records of illegal occupation of land are being made in the rule of 'Bharatiya Zameen Party'," he alleged.
He said that the BJP is the biggest land mafia party. "Corruption in land is at its peak. BJP people are engaged in buying, selling, and occupying land at various places. In connivance with the officials, BJP people are engaged in occupying the lands of farmers, poor people, as well as all government lands," he said.
The SP chief claimed that in Ayodhya, the BJP government gave the acquired land to its close ones. "A lot of land of farmers and traders was snatched away, and they were not even given proper compensation," he said.
He said that the people of the state are troubled by the highhandedness and anarchy of the BJP. "Farmers and the poor are not getting justice. The future of the youth is in the dark. Every section of society is troubled and miserable. The BJP government is doing anti-constitutional work," he said.
Akhilesh said that the BJP is against the PDA. "This government first snatched the honour and respect of the PDA, then snatched reservation in jobs, and now it has its eyes on the lands of the PDA community. The BJP is in the arrogance of power. In the year 2027, the PDA community will work together with the people of UP to break the arrogance of the BJP," he said.
