NEW DELHI: The rape and murder ofwomen in UP and the killing of three BJP leaders within a space of a week in the state, have countered any "feel good" factor chief minister Akhilesh Yadav may have wanted to generate through his investor summit in Delhi, even as the Union home ministry appears to be veering towards the idea that the state in its present size is "ungovernable" and should be divided.
A senior home ministry official confirmed to ET that such a proposal was being looked at seriously even as Home MinisterRajnath Singh held a meeting on Thursday with state DGP AL Banerjee and Principal Secretary (Home) of Uttar Pradesh, Deepak Singhal, on the state's law and order.
Chief Minister Akhilesh later called on the prime minister.
While all of this was happening in Delhi, Sangeet Som, BJP MLA and accused in the Muzaffarnagar riots case, rushed to Dadri near Greater Noida to raise the issue of murder of his party colleague Vijay Pandit. Som had spoken out against the Akhilesh Yadav government in the Meerut abduction and rape case and had been at the forefront of a rather restive reaction from the Uttar Pradesh unit of BJP against the state government.
He told ET, "Unless the Centre intervenes in the matter, the situation in Uttar Pradesh will go from bad to worse."
"I, for one, am not going to silently watch as our people are hunted down and young girls abducted and killed on a daily basis. I will agitate and raise this issue on the streets, I feel that the NDA government should seriously take note of the jungle raj in UP," he said.
"It is in the nature of the SP government that large-scale law and order violations take place, as the chief minister has no control and each SP MLA and MLC or even party workers feels entitled to break the law," he said. "If this government is allowed to continue for the rest of its tenure, which is another two-and-a-half years, the state will be finished," he said.
State unit chief Laxmikant Bajpai also met with governor BL Joshi and protested the killing of BJP leaders in the last week or so. "We are concerned that things are going from bad to worse in the state," he said.
