Manoj Giri, a journalist said he is still scared for his life, as the Samajwadi Party MLA had claimed to end his life after the Assembly Elections in the state.
Journalist Manoj Giri, working with 'Amar Ujala' has filed a complaint against Uttar Pradesh minister Radhey Shyam Singh, who had allegedly threatened the former of burning alive.
Giri has expressed fear of getting killed as he is not finding the police doing its job in the right way. Expressing dissatisfaction, Giri said the police have lodged the complaint under normal sections.
Giri is scared that just like the scribe in Bihar's Siwan was killed, he might also face the same fate.
Samajwadi Party MLA Radhey Shyam Singh who is contesting elections from Kushinagar's Hata Tehsil is alleged of threatening to set Giri ablaze for not supporting him during the ongoing state assembly elections.
Slamming the Samajwadi party for failing to keep the law and order in the state intact, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) held the ruling dispensation of the state accountable.
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said, that law and order in Uttar Pradesh has hit an all time low and the situation has worsened, as Samajwadi party has been oblivious about maintaining decorum in the state.
"The law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh has hit an all time low. A complaint has been filed by a reputed journalist against a minister Mr. Radhey Shaym Singh in Uttar Pradesh, who had threatened the journalist that he would have been burnt alive if it would not have been election time and probably he will take that action after elections," Patra said.
"It is absolutely appalling and this shows as to how the Uttar Pradesh government has done nothing for the law and order situation in the state. A lot has to be answered by the Samajwadi party government and this is why they have lost in the first phase of the elections and similarly they will lose the UP elections," he added.
