Targeting the Samajwadi Party government over Mathura violence, Union Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy today questioned why it had no knowledge about the "gigantic" and "horrific" activity of a little known organisation and why the CBI probe was being avoided.
"If the dispensation had no knowledge about such a gigantic, horrific activity, then we may ask whether there is any government worth the name in UP," Rudy said while referring to the "illegal activities" of Ram Vrikh Yadav under the name of 'Vidhik Vaicharik Kranti Satyagrah'.
Activists of the organisation last week indulged in widespread violence, including firing, in Mathura when police tried to evict them from large tracts of government land which they had been occupying for over two years.

In response to a question regarding controversy over killing of Neel Gai, he said, "there are very clear provisions for killing of the prohibited animals and those will be adopted. Hence why to add sensation to such instances or utterances.
