Bahujan Samaj Party president and former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh Mayawati on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Addressing an election gathering at the Government Inter College ground in Lakhimpur Kheri on Tuesday afternoon, the BSP chief said that the people of BJP crushed the farmers’ movement, and the public is not going to fall for any of their deceptions now. Mayawati said that the public has learned a lesson from the BJP’s empty election manifesto and “jumlebaazi”.

She said that the BSP is fighting the elections on its own and has no alliance with any other party.

“The BJP has crushed the farmers’ movement. No drama, jumlabaazi, or guarantee is working in this election,” she said, adding that her party has not formed an alliance but is fighting alone.

The BSP supremo claimed that the party has given proper participation to the entire society in ticket distribution. Regarding the Congress, BJP and their allies, she said: “The Congress has been in power for most of the time since independence. They made the capitalists rich, gave them concessions at every level, and made them strong. The BJP is also using government agencies to silence the voice of dissent and issues raised by opposition parties.”

She also said that the country’s borders are also not safe. She told the crowd that the Congress and the BJP have to be stopped from coming to power in the country’s elections.

“No one should be fooled by empty election manifestos because these parties do not implement the manifestos after the elections. The little food material being given to the farmers is not being given by the BJP from its own pocket but from the taxes paid by the common people. Attacking the BJP, she said that in the name of religion, the Muslim community is especially being exploited and harassed, and this will be stopped. The Sikh community has also been exploited. At that time, the Sikh community was devastated and ruined,” Mayawati said.
