"There has been a growth in crime graph, anarchy is on the rise and police are behaving in an arbitrary fashion," BJP leader Santosh Gangwar alleged.

"As of now the UP government is concentrating only on Muslim appeasement and it has no concern for law and order, inflation and farmers' problems," he said.

The former Union minister alleged that the SP government was ignoring the interests of backward Kurmi community. "Uttar Pradesh government is casteist and is neglecting the Kurmis by denying them proper representation," Gangwar told reporters here.

The BJP leader said that though the earlier governments had given proper representation to Kurmis by allotting at least two cabinet berths to them, it is not the case in the present government.

On the local bodies elections, the BJP leader said that his party has started the selection process for candidates.
