BSP president Mayawati today chose UP Governor Ram Naik's address to the joint session of the state's legislature to allege that there was a tacit understanding between the SP government and Centre on the issue of law and order in the state.
In a statement issued here, Mayawati said "the Governor was made to read the address prepared by the government which has lost the moral right to remain in power".
Mayawati said though the Governor keeps giving suggestions to the government on the law and order front, but no action is taken against the government which has failed to do anything concrete to control it.
"In such a scenario it looks as if there is a tacit understanding between the SP government with the BJP-led Central government on the issue of law and order, communal riots and jungle raj," she said.
This government has a bad and condemnable record of working with political vendetta and casteist mentality in the past three years, she said, adding that the state of Muslims was also bad under the government.
Mayawati said that since the Governor could not read the address in the House because of the disorder of opposition, he was saved from becoming the victim of government's mistakes and object of fun.
