    Very sad,Under BJP there is no hope of Justice unless you cater them. Why the govt under Modi not talking about these atrocities /killings of common man. BJP is only interested in looting taxpayers money to buy MLAs.

    UP Is the wild wild west of India. There is no guarantee if you will come back alive once you get inside UP. Total failure of law and order.

    If an ex mla can be killed in day light, I can imagine the state of ordinary people.

    Dear Krish,

    Opposition or no opposition does give licence for violence. Wake up. Open your eyes to the realities. Don't wear blinders.
