Reportedly a day after the yogi adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh accepted priyanka Gandhi’s offer to arrange 1,000 buses for migrant labourers, the advisor to the chief minister has said many of the registration numbers provided by congress are of two-wheelers and three-wheelers. The UP CM’s advisor has said many of the vehicles that congress has arranged to ferry migrant labourers are in fact smaller vehicles such as motorbikes and cars or autorickshaws.
Earlier on monday, cm yogi adityanath offered a twist to the bitter war of words that has been on between the UP government and congress led by priyanka gandhi over the migrant labourer crisis. The Adityanath government accepted her offer to send 1000 buses to help migrant labourers. Meanwhile, the home Department of Uttar Pradesh government has asked congress leader priyanka gandhi to bring 500 buses to Shahibabad in ghaziabad and the other 500 to noida to move the stranded migrant labourers to their home towns in Uttar Pradesh.
The UP government has also asked priyanka gandhi to make the buses available to the district authorities by 12 noon on tuesday to make other necessary arrangements. This comes after priyanka gandhi wrote in a letter to UP Additional Chief Secretary (Home), saying, “Migrant workers are stranded at UP border, especially Delhi-UP border. At a time when thousands of them are walking on roads and have gathered at UP border for registration, sending 1000 empty buses to lucknow is not only waste of time and resources, but also inhumane". The UP government had earlier asked congress to send the 1000 buses to lucknow after accepting their offer of help. Now the government has asked priyanka gandhi to send the buses to two different locations on Delhi-UP border. Speaking to a news channel, Adityanath sought the list of buses and the names of migrant workers.
