BSP supremo Mayawati while rejecting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s allegations that his party had reached out to her for an alliance ahead of UP polls, said that Gandhi’s remark shows the Congress party’s inferiority complex, casteist mindset and hatred for Dalits, other deprived sections, and the Bahujan Samaj Party.
Gandhi claimed that his party offered Mayawati the chief minister’s post but she did not respond because she was under pressure from the Union’s investigating agencies.
“Before making any remark against my party, Gandhi should first look at his own house that is in disarray. Even the BJP is taking advantage of that,” Mayawati said.
“This is completely false and fact-less. There is no truth in this. In fact, every opposition party should review the deadly results of the UP assembly polls. But such baseless remarks should not be made,” Mayawati saif on Rahul Gandhi’s remark about forming an alliance with her party in the UP polls and offering her the CM post.
According to Mayawati, the Congress’ own record against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been poor and wavering.
The four time UP CM further targeted Gandhi’s party and said that when her party was in power in 2007 in UP, the Congress ruling at the Union had stopped the central projects of the state government.
“Their government had not even provided the security forces when the judgment of the court on Ayodhya was to be pronounced. Congress wanted the situation in the state to get disturbed so that it could impose President’s Rule and run the state from behind the curtains. But their intentions had failed,” she said.
The Dalit leader also alleged that Rahul Gandhi’s father Rajiv Gandhi had called BSP founder Kanshiram an agent of the CIA to defame the party.
Mayawati went on to say: “Following the footprints, his son Rahul Gandhi too often makes false allegations against the BSP chief of having hands in gloves with the BJP and that she is afraid of the CBI, ED, and Income Tax and that is why she maintains a soft approach towards the BJP. But that is false.”
