Further, the UP government’s decision to detain opposition leaders, including Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi, Satish Mishra of the BSP and Akhilesh Yadav of the S.P. among others has given a talking point to the opposition.Congress leader Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the BJP govt by tweeting, “All the institutions of this country have been hijacked by the RSS-BJP. While no action has been taken against the minister’s son, there is a systematic attack on farmers of the country. Opposition leaders are not allowed to even visit Lakhimpur Kheri. Only in a dictatorship, such things happen.”Many other leaders, including West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, Tamil Nadu chief minister M.K. Stalin, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Chattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel and others have also criticized the UP government.
