Country will be ruined with riots if Modi becomes PM: Mayawati

April 17, 2014 18:34

Asking people to refrain from voting in favour of the saffron party, BSP supremo Mayawati today alleged that if the BJP came into power and Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, the country would "stand ruined" with communal riots.

Addressing an election rally in the city's Rail Bazaar in Kanpur this afternoon for her party's candidates from the city, Akbarpur and Misrikh seats, the Dalit leader took on BJP and its Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi headlong.

"Do not waste your votes by dividing it between Congress and Samjwadi Party, because it will directly benefit the BJP. And, if that happens, BJP and Modi will come into power and "the country would stand ruined with communal riots" akin to the one in Gujarat in 2002, Maywati alleged.
