Welcoming the Supreme Court's verdict on the bulldozer action, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav slammed the Yogi Adityanath-led government in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday, stating that the BJP government's bulldozer "will remain parked in the garage."

The Kannauj MP was addressing a rally in the Sisamau Assembly constituency in Kanpur, one of the nine seats in Uttar Pradesh where bypolls are scheduled for November 20.

While speaking at the rally, Yadav said, "The Supreme Court has commented against the bulldozer which becomes the symbol of this (BJP) government. I thank the Supreme Court for this decision against the government."

He added, "What can you expect from those who know how to demolish houses? At least today, their bulldozer will remain parked in the garage, now no one's house will be demolished... What can be a bigger comment against the government than this? We have full faith in the court, one day our MLAs will be released and will come among us and will work like they used to do earlier."

Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court directed that no demolition should be carried out without a prior 15-day show cause notice to the owner of the property and without following the statutory guidelines. The top court also said that the executive cannot become a judge and decide that a person accused is guilty and, therefore, punish him by demolishing his property.

"The executive cannot become a judge and decide that a person accused is guilty and, therefore, punish him by demolishing his residential/commercial property/properties. Such an act of the executive would be transgressing its limits," said a judgement delivered by a bench of justices BR Gavai and KV Vishwanathan. (ANI)
