"All these years she had been blaming and accusing opposition parties for the problems faced by her government to hide her shortcomings and this has now become her habit," Samajwadi Party spokesman Rajendra Chaudhary said.

"It has been undeclared emergency like situation in the state and all those raising their voices against the prevailing mis-governance and misrule are being crushed," Chaudhary said alleging that total 16 farmers protesting against land compensation have been killed in these four years.

Calling the Chief Minister a dictator, BJP spokesman Vijay Pathak alleged that there had been seven cases of confrontation with farmers during this period when engineers, doctors, government officers have been made to face bullets. While poor have become poorer, the ruling party MLAs, ministers and others have become richer by looting government funds, Pathak said.
