"There is nothing like law and order here... It looks as if the UP government and those running it have come to believe that this is the last phase for them. Therefore, all corrupt practices are being carried out in a planned manner.. If this continues, central government will have to think about it," senior BJP leader Ram Shankar Katheriya, who is also MP from Agra, told reporters here.
"I will first ask the state government to set the law and order right and if it is not done then Centre will have to be approached," Katheriya said.
Katheriya, who is party incharge of Punjab and Chattisgarh states, was here to offer condolences to the family of two brothers who were shot dead recently.
On the results of the just concluded assembly elections in Maharashtra and Haryana, he said people's confidence in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah has been proved through the poll results.
To another question, he said his government was committed on the promise of bringing back the black money and the necessary process for it is being undertaken.
