During this, while talking to the media, he fiercely targeted the Yogi government and said that my arrest was inspired by politics.
Vinay Shankar Tiwari said that this is the present government of UP with ego. How the court responded to him and he is in front of you. Today politics dominates in the state. Most of the big official positions are sitting on caste. They are working by being influenced by the ethnic mentality. This is the reason why there is a poor law. There is an atmosphere of chaos in the entire state. In such a situation, the government should resign on the basis of moral obligation.
Tiwari further said that constitutional posts are being misused by the state. There is no doubt that in this government, people of a particular caste are sitting in constitutional positions everywhere. This is the reason that being a Brahmin in this government has become a curse.
He said that two people were killed in Basti district, but the government did not take any action. There was no action in the incident in Rudrapur. There was no action in the incident with Vivek Tiwari and Ghanshyam Tiwari. At the same time, when the incident is happening with other society, action is being taken. You and all of us are watching this. The public will definitely answer in the 2027 election. There is an atmosphere of chaos in the whole society. The public is sitting ready. She is just waiting for the time.
