Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav on Monday ridiculed Chief Minister Mayawati for promising a fearless society, alleging that a 1,900 incidents of rape had taken place in the state during BSP tenure.
"BSP claims it has given 'bhay-mukt samaj' but the truth is different. There were 1,900 rapes during the Mayawati regime," Yadav said at a poll meeting here.
At the same time, the SP chief admitted that around 1,300 rape cases were reported during his tenure, but the difference is that strict action was taken by his government against the accused, unlike during Mayawati regime.
"Strict action was taken against those involved in rape incidents during SP regime, but now the accused are roaming fearlessly," he alleged.
