Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati, on Sunday, expressed concern over an anti-India campaign appearing in American newspapers.

Apart from this, she targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party government on the negative reports of world organizations, including the hunger index on India. Mayawati said that it was necessary to refute these reports as well as solve them.

The state and the Central government need to work with the right intention and policy, she said.

The former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh attacked the Central and state governments by tweeting on Sunday. Mayawati expressed concern over the lack of foreign exchange reserves, negative reports on India's position in the economy and hunger index.

Mayawati said, "Continuous devaluation of rupee, reduction in foreign exchange reserves, creaking economy, poor hunger index, including negative reports on India by world organisations, anti-India advertisements in American newspapers etc. were creating worrying situations, which must be refuted. Not only this, but the right solution is also necessary."

Mayawati said in her second tweet, "Baba Saheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar's welfare, egalitarian and humanistic Constitution of India is still ideal for the world, despite the way India's global image is affected. It is a matter of sorrow and concern. The Central and state governments need to work with the right intention and policy."

According to a report recently released by the Global Hunger Index, India is ranked 107th out of 121 countries. The Central government has rejected this report. The government has stated that the measurement of the Global Hunger Index is wrong as it has several serious methodological problems.

In the year 2021, India was ranked 101.
