Meerut: Blaming the Samajwadi Party government for the recent Muzaffarnagar riots, two former legislators today resigned from the party.
The father-son duo of Mahak Singh and Ajay Kumar have alleged that if desired the administration could have stopped the Muzaffarnagar riots, that erupted following an eve-teasing incident in the adjoining Kawal village on August 27.
But it chose to turn a blind eye to it, resulting in the loss of scores of innocent lives.
“Akhilesh Yadav, obviously, is responsible for the riots”, they said.
Mahak Singh has been the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) MLA from Chaproli constituency in 1991-92 and later joined the SP.
While his son Ajay Kumar won the elections from the same place in 2004 on RLD ticket.
