'Not his Bua': Mayawati attacks Bhim Army chief, sets alliance terms for Cong, SP

September 16, 2018 13:19

Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Sunday targeted Bhim Army president Chandrashekar Azad 'Ravan', who was released from Saharanpur jail on Friday.

In a clear indication to Chandrashekhar, Mayawati said: For the past few days, a man who was recently released from jail is trying to call me Bua. I can never have a relation with these sort of people."

Chandrashekar was booked under the National Security Act by the UP government and spent 15months in jail for his alleged role in the violence that broke out in Shabbirpur village in May 2017.

The BSP supremo added that she is not averse to joining a grand alliance against the BJP, but will agree only if her party is allocated a respectable share of seats in states where it is currently a minor player.

"We are not against having an alliance in the upcoming polls. But it will happen only if we are given a respectable number of seats. Otherwise, we will go alone," Mayawati said.

BJP governments in states and in the Centre are trying to hide their failures by diversionary tactics. They have not fulfilled their election promises. They are trying to use Atal ji's death for political gains, she was quoted as saying.
