Senior Congress Leader PL Punia -

Congress, a constant attacker on the UP government, has called the statement of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath a conspiracy against the Dalits and the backward. Rajya Sabha member and senior Congress leader PL Punia has alleged that CM Yogi has presented misleading statistics regarding migrant labor-workers getting infected, leading to social disharmony. Leader of the Legislature Party Aradhana Mishra has also demanded the government to have a clear stand.

Senior Congress leader PL Punia first raised the issue of the arrest of Congress state president Ajay Kumar Lallu in a conversation with reporters at the Congress state headquarters on Tuesday. He said that Lallu is getting punished for serving poor laborers. No one is being allowed to meet him in jail. The government is doing injustice to our leader, which will not be tolerated.

PL Punia demanded the government to cooperate with Lallu’s bail. Also, on the previous day, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath while talking to a news agency said that most of the workers coming from Maharashtra and Delhi are infected with Corona. This statement will spread social disharmony, as out of those who have come from outside, more people come from Dalit and backward society.

Leader Legislature Party Aradhana Mishra said that the Chief Minister’s statement of infection has created confusion. If there is truth in the Chief Minister’s statement, then the government should make the public aware of testing, infection data and other preparations with complete transparency.
