Former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said that the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government has no answers over the present law and order situation in the state.

"Murders, dacoities and numerous such incidents are happening in the state over which the Uttar Pradesh Government led by Yogi Adityanth has no answers," Yadav told ANI.

While questioning the incumbent BJP government in the state, he asked, "Can the government say that it is successful in terms of maintaining law and order in the state?

Akhilesh quoted past incidents of murder and dacoity in Uttar Pradesh and asked the state government that why the accused have not been yet identified in those incidents.

"Have the accused been identified in Sitapur triple-murder case; how can a dacoity occur at a retired judge in Lucknow; A BSP candidate was murdered in Allahabad after getting good votes; there was lathi-charge in BHU, how many incidents shall I quote?" the former chief minister said.
