Ones who used to polish your boots are ruling over us now: Madhu Mishra, BJP

New Delhi: BJP Mahila Morcha Uttar Pradesh President Madhu Mishra on Monday was expelled from the party for 6 years for saying "the ones ruling the state used to once polish boots". “Making use of the constitution, remember these people who are ruling over you used to once polish your boots. This happened because we were divided,” Madhu said at a public meeting in Aligarh. Congress leader Akshilesh Pratap Singh condemned Madhu’s comments saying her views are exactly the “ideologies of the RSS”. “Madhu Mishra has spoken the ideology of RSS. They are the same people who opposed the Constitution and Babasaheb Ambedkar. Modi government has the same feudal mindset against Dalits and marginalized sections of society,” Singh said. BSP  had also demanded an immediate action against Madhu. Taking a strong note of her words, UP state BJP President Laxmikant Vajpayee had said: “BJP a party does not believe what she may have said. I have sought a written explanation from Madhu Mishra. I have asked for the audio recording of it, if she’s found saying those words then she would be terminated from her post by today evening.” However, speaking to ABP News, Madhu stood by what she said but apologised to those who were hurt by her remarks. “I do not regret what I said. My comments weren’t made to hurt any particular caste or community. I only meant equality for all and sabka saath sab ka vikas.”
