Lucknow, Aug 28 (Agencies) : Launching a scathing attack on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Sunday said that the party has no options but to depend on 'rejected maal'.
Mayawati, who was addressing a rally in Samajwadi Party (SP) supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav's constituency Azamgarh said, "Like in Bihar, the BJP does not have any candidates (to file) for the upcoming Vidhan Sabha elections of the state. They (BJP) are depending on the `rejected maal' of the BSP and other parties."
They are trying to cash on leaders who were either rejected by us (BSP) or were shown the exit door, she added.
MINORITIES NOT SAFE
Maya went ahead to attack the ruling SP government by saying that even the upper caste and the minorities are not safe in Uttar Pradesh. "UP me dehshat, danga aur crime ka maahaul hai…. Muslim aur other minorities UP me surakshit nahi hain... (There is an atmosphere of crime and riot, even Muslims and minorities are not safe in UP)," she said.
The BJP and the SP are working hands in gloves. Even the upper caste and other related communities are not safe in UP, she added. "Only mafias and gundas rule in UP. Only BSP can run this state", Mayawati said.
There is not a single day when a crime (against women) is not reported from the 80 districts of UP. "Crime was at its lowest, when we (BSP) were in power", she added.
MODI NOT FULFILLING PROMISES
Attacking the Modi government, Mayawati said, "Central government has adopted a step-motherly attitude towards the Muslims and other minorities. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech on August 15 from the Red Fort was totally political. Yeh PoK aur Pakistan par yudh kara ke he maneige". (He is forcing the country into another battle with Pakistan on the PoK issue)
Attacking Modi further, Mayawati said that the promises he made in 2014, are yet to be fulfilled.
"He (Modi) is only diverting us (people of the country) by making false promises. Have you got money in your accounts? Pulses, petrol and all the things of daily need are getting dearer. Does he have any response to the questions of a common man," Mayawati questioned.
