Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav today took a dig at NDA government saying after 100 days of its formation, neither there is peace on the borders nor terrorism is under control.
"The BJP people sitting in power at the centre are very clever...They took control of power just by lip service and even after the passage of 100 days there is no peace on borders whether it be China or Pakistan, nor is terrorism under control", the CM said.
Yadav was here in Tirhi village to meet the wife and mother of the CRPF jawan, Nekpal Singh, who died in Naxal attack in Bijapur of Chattisgarh.
The chief minister said that for resolving the naxal problem either political course or dialogue should be started or those spreading violence should be wiped out.
Without taking names, Yadav said that BJP people are sitting in power at the Centre but nothing is being done for roads, health and farmers' problems.
The chief minister also handed a cheque of Rs 10 lakhs each to the mother and wife of the deceased jawan.
