Speaking to the Indian Express, Paswan said, “We demand a CBI probe and stringent action against the culprits in this incident.”
While BSP chief Mayawati has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of doing politics over the incident, Paswan attacked Mayawati with the same allegation and said that she was shedding crocodile tears. “By demanding the resignation of Prime Minister, Mayawati is trying to shield the Congress government of Rajasthan. She is not demanding resignation of Congress government of the state,” Paswan said.
Paswan added that Mayawati should stop ‘dual politics’ of supporting Congress in the state and also threatening the state government on the Alwar incident at the same time.
