Samajwadi Party and Rashtriya Lok Dal today demanded dismissal of the Mayawati government in the wake of the police firing on agitating farmers.
"There is only one solution of this problem....dismiss this (Mayawati) government," SP president Mulayam Singh Yadav
told reporters after both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were
adjourned for the day following uproar over the issue.
RLD MP Jayant Chaudhary too demanded dismissal of the BSP
government in Uttar Pradesh.
"The blame lies squarely on the administration," he said adding that though farmers are giving their land for development, it was not being used for that purpose.
He said a land acquisition law enacted by the Uttar Pradesh government last year affected 1.45 crore people in 850 villages.
The RLD leader said there was a need to impress upon the
state government to withdraw the law which was affecting
ecology and rural economy.
Meanwhile, the BJP today constituted an inquiry committee
to look into the entire issue and accused the Uttar Pradesh
government of benefiting a particular industrial house.
"State president Surya Pratap Shahi has constituted a three-member committee which will examine the Aligarh incident
wherein three persons were killed and submit its report accordingly," party spokesman Hriday Narain Dixit told
reporters in Lucknow.
Describing as unfortunate the Rs 5 lakh compensation announced by the state government, he said BJP demanded Rs 25 lakh ex-gratia to kin of the farmers killed in firing and
arrest of "guilty" police officers.
He alleged that the Aligarh incident was a result of a deal between the state government and the industrial house.
