Lucknow: Ruling Samajwadi Party today said it was "ironical" that BSP supremo Mayawati was demanding a CBI probe into the Mathura violence as she had herself questioned the working of the investigation agency earlier.
"She on one hand is raising demand for CBI probe in the Mathura incident and on the other she herself questions working of the agency. She used to accuse BJP for misusing CBI and is herself afraid of its probe against her in disproportionate asset and other cases," SP spokesman Rajendra Chowdhury said.
"Its ironical that such a person is raising demand for a CBI probe," he said.
Responding to Mayawati's allegations of poor law and order situation in the state, Chowdury said that she should check the crime data during her regime "when rapes, murders and abductions were on the rise".
"Mayawati is patronising mafias, criminals and corrupt persons. In the four-year reigme of SP, there are no charges against Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and she should be aware of it," he said.=
