BSP chief Mayawati
LUCKNOW: A day after five rebel BSP MLAs met Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, triggering speculation of a switch-over before assembly polls, BSP chief Mayawati termed the meeting an eyewash. She said it was a “drama” aimed at deriving mileage in the run-up to elections of zila panchayat chairpersons and block pramukhs.
Lashing out at SP for being a casteist outfit adept at manipulation and poaching, Mayawati said, by using the media to put out news of a meeting with BSP MLAs, SP was trying to fool people.
“BSP suspended these MLAs a long time back when they sabotaged the Rajya Sabha election of a Dalit in association with Samajwadi Party and an industrialist. If SP was honest in its dealings with these MLAs, it would not have kept them in limbo for so long. The party is aware that if these BSP MLAs join their party, their own members would rebel. And some are already waiting to join BSP,” the former UP chief minister said.
