A lot has been said about conditions in Uttar Pradesh, I have not been to ground zero but based on media reports I have come to believe the conditions are not very good. How can they be, when the leader of the ruling party makes statements like, "Galtiyan toh Ladke hi karte hai" ("Mistakes are committed by boys only"); on being questioned about rising cases of rapes in the state.
The CM makes a statement that one needs to google (search the internet), to find out that Uttar Pradesh is not the only state where there is a serious problem of atrocities against women; does incidents in other states give right to the UP government to turn a blind eye towards such incidents. It surely seems that, UP ministers do not want to take action, as one of the senior leaders went on record saying that, " Cases of rape are natural in a big state like UP."; One of the senior SP leaders went on to say that when a relationship between a biy and girl comes out in open it is being termed as rape...!!!
What do these people think, that if you have a big state you should stop taking action, is the system so paralysed that it does not feel the pain of the victims. It does seem that it is immune to criticism, the CM ordered use of water cannons on the female wing of the Bhrtiya Janta Party, which was marching towards the CM house a few days back in Lucknow
The cases are aplenty, but the stir has started after the rape and subsequent murder of two minor girls aged 14 and 15 in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh. The were abducted and gangraped, later their bodies were found hanging on a tree, the incident took place on the 27th of May, 2014.
The case is not an isolated incidence, there have been several cases in the past as well, the case was followed by an incident of attempted rape of a civil court judge, in the highly secure judges colony. Even Amethi the strong hold of INC, and constituency of Mr. Rahul Gandhi, is not safe and a case of minor rape has been reported recently.
Courtsey: Satish
On being questioned by the media about the occurrences of such cases, SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav said, "You do your Job, I will do mine"; I would like to ask Mr. Singh, if you had been doing your job properly the questions would never have been raised.
What is the government doing in UP, they want to make the state a high tech state by distribution of laptops and other such flimsy things. The overall situation in the state seems to be out of hand of the ruling party, but as they have seen the results of the national elections, the overall scenario for Samajvadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party are not all that great and thus they would not want a re-election soon.
