New Delhi, : In a scathing criticism of Uttar Pradesh’s governance, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has said the truth of the double engine government in the state is that it is a “guarantee of jungle raj”.

He also announced a statewide protest by party workers against the deteriorating law and order situation in the state
Highlighting several recent cases of crimes against women, he said the bodies of minor sisters are found hanging from trees at some places.
“Somewhere the audacity of gang rape by BJP members in IIT-BHU campus, and somewhere a woman judge was forced to commit suicide for not getting justice….This is the condition of that state whose law and order system is being praised tirelessly,” Gandhi said.
He also mentioned the recent murder of a Dalit student returning after giving her Class 10 exams in Rampur.
“It is time to come out of the false image created by Modi media and see the truth that the double engine government is the guarantee of jungle raj,” the Congress said.
