Hitting out at the Samajwadi Party (SP), the BJP today alleged that it had neither any policy nor intention to do good work and allowed a "jungle raj" to prevail in Uttar Pradesh when it was in power.
In a statement issued here, state BJP chief Mahendra Nath Pandey said, "During the SP regime, the only investments made in the state were by criminals and in (the field of) crime. The SP neither had a policy (neeti) nor an intention (niyat)."
Taking a jibe at SP chief and former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, he said, "While attempting to save the losing political ground and running from pillar to post in search of a coalition, the thought process of the prince of Saifai has become anti-developmental. Had the SP chief worked for the welfare of the people, they would not have been ousted from power."
