Lucknow, May 21(UNI) Uttar Pradesh Governor T V Rajeswar today said the top priority of the newly formed Mayawati-led state government would be to establish the rule of law by creating an atmosphere free from from injustice, crime and fear.

Addressing the joint session of the state legislature on the inaugural session of the 15th assembly, Mr Rajeswar, who created a history of sorts by reading the entire text without any obstruction in over 45 minutes, said the government will put an end to the 'Jungleraj' and create such an atmosphere in which everyone is protected and no communal riots takes place.

It was for the first time after 1993, that any governor could read his entire speech in the house without any obstruction.

The main opposition Samajwadi Party members and the leader of the opposition Mulayam Singh Yadav kept their cool even as the governor read that anarchy prevailed during the previous regime for four years and the peoples' verdict was ridiculed by forming an unconstitutional government after splitting political parties.

''Besides this, corruption and bribery reached the climax. The middlemen and contractors of the criminal type remained all powerful as bribery dominated over the development programmes and transfers'', he said adding that the ''innocent people of the state had to bear the brunt of it.'' Mr Rajeswar said the clear verdict in the assembly polls was given by the people of the state against terror,crime and corruption for the first time after a lapse of about 16 years.

'' The government would make all efforts to transform Uttar Pradesh into Uttam aur Khush haal Pradesh, which would be a leading and prosperous state in the true sense of the word'', the Governor said.

We will make efforts to ensure that the people of the state rise above religious,caste, community and other narrow feeling and behave in a cordial manner so that all the people of the state could equally participate in the process of development, he said.
