"Such a government should resign, money been used for PR": SP leader Shivpal Yadav

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], February 18 (ANI): Samajwadi Party leader Shivpal Yadav on Tuesday condemned the government on the deaths during the Mahakumbh stampede and demanded the government to resign stating that the money had been misused by them for PR.
Speaking to the media, Yadav said "Government's money has been misused for PR, such a government should resign. There is no mention of 144 years anywhere in the scriptures."
Meanwhile, SP leaders protested in front of the legislative assembly against deaths at Mahakumbh due to the stampede.
Notably, one Samajwadi party leader, while condemning the government, symbolically got the 'ashes' of the government's ethics.
"The Uttar Pradesh government organised the Mahakumbh, but there was so much mismanagement that many people lost their lives and the government is not even releasing the number of deaths, they give numbers everyday on how many people bathed but can't give this," SP leader Ashutosh Sinha told ANI.
"We have come here with the asthiya of Sarkar ki netikta (the ashes of government's ethics), because the ethics of the government are dead. We have got them at the temple of politics here (state legislative assembly)," he added.
On the upcoming budget session, the SP leader said, "the government has looted the people, people have been looted in elections, how they have organised the Mahakumbh, we are protesting it all."
"The government had publicised and said so many things about the Mahakumbh, but today they have completely failed on it. The stampeded which occurred during Mauni Amavasya, the government used to say that it is a digital kumbh but today the government has still not given the number of deaths which occurred at that time," the SP leader said.
SP leader Ravidas Mehrotra said, "We will protest during the Governor's address as she will falsely praise the government... This government used to leak exam papers earlier and now the governor's speech has also been leaked. This government has failed on all fronts." (ANI)
