Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh): Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Wednesday hit out at the Uttar Pradesh government over the issue of sacking of 25,000 home guards in the state.

In a tweet, Mayawati asked the state government why it is giving punishment to the family of the 25,000 home guards, who have been removed from their post in order to hide its faulty economic policies. She said, "This will increase anarchy in the state. Why the government is fanning unemployment in the state instead of providing jobs?"
