Yadav said that the workers from north India were forced to flee Gujarat as in fear of their lives but the Gujarat government was not taking adequate preventive measures. “The north Indian workers are so scared and desperate that they are cramming in hoardes even in 20-seater buses to flee the state,” he pointed out. Yadav also lambasted Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s claim vko’;drk gSS that the media was exaggerating the attacks and the situation was normal in Gujarat. He said the Chief Minister and the Prime Minister should intervene in the matter and ensure normalcy in Gujarat.
