BSP MP objects to UP CM Adityanath's inauguration of roads under PMGSY

BSP MP Kunwar Danish Ali took strong objection to Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday inaugurating roads built in his constituency under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). The MP claimed this is always done by local MPs and the action of the CM is a "clear violation" of rules.

"Why is @myogiadityanath ji so eager to win elections? The foundation stone laying/inauguration of the roads to be built under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMSGY), which is always done by local MPs, was done by you today," Ali, who is an MP from Amroha, tweeted in Hindi.

Ali alleged that this was not only an insult to MPs, but also a clear violation of constitutional provisions and rules.


The foundation stone laying of a road under the scheme and its inauguration must be done by the local MP, read the official communication on the inauguration of works under the PMGSY.

Ali attacked the ruling BJP in another tweet, saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi set the election agenda from Aligarh and wondered about the promises of payment of dues of sugarcane farmers in 14 days and doubling of farmers' income.

This he alleged was creating an atmosphere of fear among the majority community in national interest and was a recipe to win elections in 'New India'.
