Lucknow: Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Monday attacked the BJP on the three bills which propose the removal of ministers under arrest for 30 consecutive days, saying history is full of examples of “dictatorial” governments that framed laws to cling to power but eventually collapsed.
“Around the world, dictatorial regimes have brought in such laws only to protect themselves from losing power. But history shows they could not survive. Those who dig pits for others eventually fall into them,” Yadav said while responding to a query on the bills at a press conference.
Aiming at BJP leaders defending the Bill, Yadav questioned their “honesty,” saying, “Where was this honesty when the Uttar Pradesh chief minister withdrew cases against himself? Not only his own cases, but even those against the deputy chief minister were withdrawn.”
