New Delhi: Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Dimple Yadav said on Wednesday that the violence and ruckus in Sambhal that claimed the lives of four and left many injured right after the election results raises a 'big question' on the 'neeyat and neeti' (policy and intentions) of the government and the BJP.
Question on Govt's policy
Speaking to media here on Wednesday, Dimple Yadav said, "The administration did the work of booth-capturing and today, when we are celebrating Constitution Day, we want our country to be run by the Constitution. The way the Sambhal incident happened immediately after the election results were announced, I think it raises a big question over the policy and intentions of the government and the BJP."

Samajwadi Party MP Ram Gopal Yadav also reacted to the incident and said, "Innocent people were killed. Such things do not happen in a democratic system. The government has not taken any action against such officials. Our delegation will go there tomorrow and we will raise this issue.
If the government does not listen to us, then we have no option but to go to court. I have again given a notice in Parliament today to raise this issue."
