Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati attacked his Samajwadi Party counterpart Mulayam Singh Yadav alleging that he did not celebrate his 78th birthday on Tuesday not due to train accident to mourn the deaths of innocent passengers but just due to demonetisation drive of the Centre.
“Mulayam attended grand birthday celebration and festival at Saifai after the worst ever Muzaffarnagar riots in which over 60 people were killed and over 50,000 rendered homeless but suddenly his drama before the assembly elections has no meaning,” asserted Mayawati in a statement released here on Wednesday afternoon. “Not to celebrate his birthday this time was only due to demonetisation move of the Centre and is has nothing to do with the train accident at Kanpur dehat”, BSP supreme added while terming it as a high drama due to coming Assembly elections. She also not forget to remind that how huge public money was wasted in celebration of Mulayam’s birthday last year.
Mayawati once again appealed to Muslims not to get swayed away with such tantrums of the Samajwadi Party and should know their real face and motive. Claiming that the Ghazipur rally of the SP was a total flop on Wednesday, Mayawati said that there was a clear vertical division witnessed in the Party where even supporters of either group clashed during the meeting.
The former UP CM also condemned the police lathi charge on the people and farmers standing in the queue by the police and even alleged that the SP government was indirectly supporting the Narendra Modi government by such act.
