Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati on Friday, lashed out at the Samajwadi Party over the death of a Dalit woman in Unnao.
“The recovery of the buried dead body of a Dalit girl in the SP leader’s field in Unnao district is a very sad and serious matter. The family members were already suspecting the SP leader about her abduction and murder. The state government should immediately take strict legal action against the culprits to get justice for the victim’s family,” Mayawati tweeted.
