Mayawati alleged the BJP and Samajwadi Party did not fulfill the promises made in Uttar Pradesh, while the Congress did not do so in the states’ they have governments.

“Why did the BJP and SP not fulfil the promises they are making now when they were in power? Why did the Congress party, which is promising to give 40 percent poll tickets and scooty to women, did not do so in the states they have governments? This is something to think about,” she tweeted in Hindi.

The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister’s outburst comes ahead of the assembly elections scheduled early next year.
