Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak has alleged that during the tenure of the previous Samajwadi Party government in the state, criminals were active as "mini chief ministers" in every district.

The SP had fielded party chief Akhilesh Yadav's wife Dimple Yadav from the seat. During the SP's government, criminals enjoyed political patronage and used to raise slogans such as 'khali plot hamara hai', they had "become mini chief ministers in every district", Pathak said. This time the people of Mainpuri are n
