A day after being attacked, Bhim Army chief Chandra Shekhar Aazad on Thursday demanded the resignation of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, claiming his government was providing protection to criminals on the basis of caste and religion.
In a note posted on Twitter, Aazad alleged the law and order situation in UP is worsening and “government-backed” criminals are in high spirits. He said when such criminals can target politicians like him, one can’t imagine the atrocities being committed against women, Dalits, backward classes, tribals and minorities.
