Following the death of the Unnao rape victim, the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh has come under fire from former UP CMs Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati. They have lashed out at the Yogi Adityanath government.

"This is an extremely condemnable incident. This is a black day. It is not the first such incident under this BJP Govt. Till the day Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, state Home Secretary and DGP don't resign, justice will not be done. We will conduct a shokh sabha in all districts of the state over the Unnao rape case," Yadav, who is the supremo of Samajwadi Party said.

BSP supremo Mayawati stated, "Since the last few years and especially under the current BJP government, women are not safe. In UP, not a single day goes by without a case of crime against women. Until state governments take time-bound actions against criminal elements, these incidents will not stop."
