Targeting the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati alleged on August 19 that "jungle raj" prevailed in the State and the drumming of development was merely a deception.
In a series of tweets in Hindi, Mayawati said, "A number of people died in a boat tragedy due to an incomplete bridge over the Yamuna river in Banda. An undertrial who had been brought to Hapur for a hearing was shot dead, and now the painful incident of gangrape in Hamirpur. These incidents prove there is jungle raj in Uttar Pradesh and the drumming of development is only a deception."
