UP govt most corrupt ever, alleges BJP MLA Nand Kishore Gurjar; Akhilesh takes dig
Ghaziabad, Mar 21 (PTI): BJP MLA from Loni, Nand Kishore Gurjar, on Friday alleged in a press conference that Uttar Pradesh has the "most corrupt government ever", and the officers are misleading Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and looting the exchequer.
Gurjar attended a press conference in a torn kurta alleging that "the police had torn my clothes".
He alleged that the chief secretary had tied the brain of "Maharaj Ji" by applying occult arts on him.
"The chief secretary is the most corrupt officer in the world. The officers have looted land in Ayodhya," said Gurjar.
Samajwadi Party president and former UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav latched on to Gurjar's statements and attacked the Yogi Adityanath government.
"In the BJP's rule, the BJP members themselves are revealing secrets how injustice and corruption have spread everywhere. Now will they get his reports changed as well?" Yadav said in Hindi on X, sharing a news report about the BJP MLA's claims.
Gurjar told reporters that the women of Loni were carrying out 'Ram Kalash Yatra' on Thursday but police tried to intercept it. This took an ugly turn, the MLA noted.
ACP (Ankur Vihar) Ajay Kumar Singh said the MLA and his supporters were trying to bring out the Yatra without any permission. On the other hand, the MLA claimed an application for permission was given by the SDM of Loni.
Gurjar told the media that Ram Kalash Yatra is traditional and permission was never sought by the organisers before this year.
He attacked his party-led government, alleging that cow slaughtering on a mass scale is going on in UP and that people are being killed in fake encounters.
In a video, he urged the Gurjar Samaj not to jam traffic and to maintain peace everywhere.

Karnataka BJP chief urges Speaker to revoke suspension of 18 MLAs
Bengaluru, Mar 22 (PTI): Karnataka BJP president B Y Vijayendra on Saturday urged Speaker U T Khader to withdraw the suspension order of 18 legislators.
The BJP MLAs were suspended for six months from the Assembly on Friday. They protested against the four per cent reservation bill for Muslims in public contracts, and climbed on the podium where the Speaker was in the seat and threw papers on him.
Addressing reporters at the BJP state office, Jagannath Bhavan, Vijayendra said, "We urge the Speaker to revoke the suspension. We also condemn the decision to suspend BJP legislators, which is entirely illegal, unconstitutional, unilateral, and arbitrary."
The Shikaripura MLA stated that the BJP opposes the government’s decision to grant reservations as "an appeasement to minorities."
"We will fight against this bill both inside and outside the House and take it to a logical conclusion," he said.
Vijayendra also announced the launch of a statewide awareness campaign against the bill, minority appeasement, and what he described as "the humiliation of Hindus."
