Leader of Opposition in the assembly Ajay Singh and state party chief Kantilal Bhuria said this while addressing several public meetings during Congress's Jan Chetana Yatra in the district.

Ajay said while the ruling BJP talked about empowerment of women, it sent Bundelkhand leader Uma Bharti to Uttar Pradesh.

"BJP was now against its own Kisan Sangh Leader, Shiv Kumar Sharma, only because he was fighting for the farmers," he claimed.

Referring to murder of a man at Jatara, allegedly by BJP workers and some police personnel, the two leaders alleged that it is a "mafia government".

Ajay alleged that BJP leaders had nexus with contractors, mining mafia and criminals, and the innocent officers who were trying to stop illegal mining were being beaten or killed.
