PNS

After successfully tacking a revolt-like situation following the sudden resignation of senior leader and the then leader of Opposition, Swami Prasad Maurya, BSP chief Mayawati on Tuesday alleged that some channels were playing into the hands of Opposition leaders to damage the morale of her party cadre. “A report shown in the media about some senior BSP leaders on leaving the party was baseless.

These leaders have confirmed to me that media persons were running fake stories,” Mayawati charged at a Press conference in lucknow on Tuesday. Earlier, a channel has aired a report, claiming senior BSP leaders Ramveer Upanchaya and  Thakur Jaiveer Singh were leaving the party. “No one in my party is leaving. But I want to confirm to the media that many MlAs of other parties are in touch with me and were likely to join the BSP,” she asserted.
