The Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Karan Mahara has accused the State government of meting out step-motherly treatment to the elected representatives of Congress party. In a statement the PCC president said on Friday that the BJP government of Uttarakhand has stooped down to the lowest level of politics and is either trying to unseat the elected representatives of opposition parties by hook and crook or putting obstacles in the development projects in their areas. He alleged that the State government is checking the political background of the public representative before approving the development projects. Mahara said that the Pithoragarh MLA Mayukh Mahar was forced to undertake an agitation on the issues of the public interest. He said that the daring daylight robbery in a jewellery showroom in Dehradun on Thursday has exposed the pathetic law and order situation in the State. He said that the robbery occurred at the time when the President was in the city. Mahara said that even a day after the daring heist , the police are still grappling in dark in the case. The PCC president said that the sensational dacoity shows prevailing jungle Raj in the State. He said that action should be taken against the top officers of the police for showing laxity in preventing crime. He said that the State police has failed in ensuring safety of women and common man. Mahara said that the criminals are out of the reach of the police. He said that the police have also failed to know the VIP involved in the murder of Ankita Bhandari case. The PCC president alleged that the successive failures of police shows that the criminals are being protected.
