New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday alleged that the Samajwadi Party is neck deep in corruption and said the people of Uttar Pradesh would give a decisive mandate against them in the assembly polls scheduled next year.

BJP leader Nalin Kohli said mere sacking of two ministers is not going to hide the abysmal law and order situation of the state during their tenure.

"The UP Government is neck deep in corruption. The tenure of the Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh cannot cover up its bad tenure in terms of the lack of development, in terms of the corruption. So, removing one or two ministers is not going to change that situation," Kohli said.

"The abysmal law and order situation. All these things cannot now hide the truth from the people of Uttar Pradesh and the voters are going to send a very decisive mandate against the Samajwadi Party Government," he added.
