New Delhi/Kannauj, June 19 (ANI): Condemning the fresh incident of rape being reported from Uttar Pradesh's Kannauj District, Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh on Sunday hit out at Chief Minister Mayawati, saying no justice can be expected during her regime.
"No justice can be expected during the regime of Mayawati. Officials in Mayawati's government are corrupt and incompetent," he said.
