On Saturday, the BSP supremo raised her concern over “attempts to derive electoral advantage using religion and asked the Election Commission to put a curb on this worrying trend."
Her remark came a day after UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made a statement that the upcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh will be an 80 percent versus 20 percent while alluding to roughly 20 percent of the Muslim population of the state.
Mayawati accused the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government in Uttar Pradesh of imposing a jungle-raj through its biased policies.
“Owing to the biased approach of the (BJP) government, a ‘jungle raj’ of criminals is prevailing… Due to this, the people of every caste and section are feeling very sad. A section of the upper caste, which had in the previous elections voted enthusiastically for the BJP, is feeling very sad,” she had said as reported by PTI.
The BSP supremo also took a dig at the Samajwadi Party and said, “In the state, there is a party, which is dreaming of bagging 400 out of 403 seats by banking on the people who have been expelled from other parties and allying with other parties.”
