Not easy to remove me from power, says Mulayam Thursday, June 10 2004 17:27 Hrs (IST)
Lucknow:
: Reeling under Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's attack on the law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav today (June 9, 2004) hit back saying the situation in Mumbai and Delhi was bad and claimed it was not easy to remove him from power
.
"Rahul Gandhi ki haisiyat nahin ki hum unka naam le (Rahul Gandhi's stature is not such that I take his name)," Yadav said reacting to Gandhi's comments on law and order and
power situation in the State and the need for regime change.
"The law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh is better than any other State in the country," he said adding those passing adverse comments should first look at the situation in Mumbai and Delhi. The two cities topped the crime graph in the country, he claimed.
Asked if he suspected any move to dislodge his Government Yadav said it was not an easy job to remove him.
"Sab jaante hain ki sarkar ko hatana itna aasaan nahin hai (everybody knows it is not easy to dislodge my Government)," he said.
On the strained relationship with the Congress Yadav said his party was supporting it despite undergoing humiliations.
