Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday targeted the Uttar Pradesh government, saying that the condition of cow shelters in the state was "pathetic".
She alleged that the state government is not doing enough for improving the condition of cow shelters.
Priyanka Gandhi posted on Twitter, "The Chief Minister is going to Braj which is an inspiration for cow service, and hope he will do something to improve the condition of cow shelters. Since five years, the condition is pathetic and the government is not doing enough."
She also tagged newspaper reports on the condition of cow shelters.
In July, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had directed officials to conduct a thorough pre-monsoon inspection of all cow shelters in the state.
He had asked the officials to ensure adequate arrangements for green fodder and straw, among other things, for the cattle.
Strict action would be taken against the officer or employee concerned in the shelter, where the death of a cow is reported due to mismanagement, he had said.
