Ajay Rai raised questions on the state government
Earlier on Thursday, Congress’ Uttar Pradesh unit president Ajay Rai held the state government responsible for the stampede incident in Hathras. Ajay Rai told reporters at the party’s state headquarters, “The Hathras incident is a failure of the Uttar Pradesh government. Yesterday the Chief Minister visited Hathras and later Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak also went there. They did not go together, this shows internal discord. He reiterated the Congress’ demand for compensation of Rs 1 crore to the families of those killed in the stampede and Rs 25 lakh to the injured.
