After making a frontal attack on Prime minister over not procuring a single Rafale fighter jet during National Democratic Alliance (NDA) five-year regime, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati fired a fresh salvo on Tuesday asking why Narendra Modi is “silent” over Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) president Amit Shah’s claim that 250 terrorists were killed in the Indian airstrikes in Pakistan.
“BJP chief Amit Shah is arduously making claim that IAF strike had killed over 250 terrorists in Pakistan but why his guru PM Modi who is always keen to take credit for everything is silent over it? Terrorists killed is good news, but what is the secret behind deep silence of the PM over it?” Mayawati posted on Twitter. At an event in Ahmedabad on Sunday, Shah had said the Indian Air Force (IAF) airstrikes on a Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camp in Pakistan’s Balakot last Tuesday “killed more than 250 terrorists”.
Mayawati also hit out at the economic policies of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, saying that benefits of economic growth were not reaching to most of the poor, labourer, farmers and that was a “matter of serious concern”. “...what will be Modi government reply and jumlebazi (rhetoric) over a slowdown in farm and manufacturing pushing GDP growth to a low of 6.6%?” she added.
