"We will hold demonstrations at District Headquarters throughout the state," BJP State Unit President Ramapati Ram Tripathi said, adding they will also launch a 'jail bharo andolan'.

Lashing out at the BSP government for the misuse of state funds, Tripathi said: "the state government is engaged only in building parks and installing statues in the name of Bheem Rao Ambedkar and Kanshi Ram and a major part of state's budget is spent on these projects."

 

Alleging that the cost of one statue to be set up at these parks is Rs 60 lakh, the leader demanded a white paper from the government on the project.

He said the implementation of VAT by the state government has further added to the woes of the people.
