Budaun double murder a campaign hot topic for BJP and SP
New Indian ExpressBUDAUN: The brutal murder of two minor brothers here has become the talking point in the constituency ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, with the Samajwadi Party targeting the BJP over the law and order situation while the saffron party asserting that "rapid police action" resulted in the death of the main accused. Terming the murder as a "failure of law and order", Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav said the lives of the two brothers could have been saved. She was apparently referring to SP leader Shivpal Yadav, who first visited Budaun last week after his name was announced as the candidate for the Lok Sabha elections. Shivpal Yadav's son and party leader Aditya Yadav had on Thursday met the family of the deceased brothers and also met the district magistrate and SSP to lodge a complaint against Maurya.
