Bahujan Samaj Party Supremo Mayawati on Saturday targeted Bharatiya Janata Party and Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance and said that in the roadshows of the parties, most of the crowd was onlookers. Mayawati alleged that most people who were there at Prime Minister Modi’s roadshow were not from Varanasi; they were brought from outside. According to sources, this was just a planned strategy of the BJP to give a false impression to the people that they enjoy the majority in a constituency. Mayawati taking about cleaning river Ganga added, “They (Bharatiya Janata Party) haven’t yet cleaned mother Ganga. Along with you people (voters), this time mother Ganga will punish them too.”
Modi on Thursday held a grand roadshow in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh to garner support for himself from the region and it seems to have saved his best for the last phase of Uttar Pradesh Assembly election. It was Modi’s first roadshow as the Prime Minister in his own constituency of Varanasi, which is considered not only as the cultural epicentre of Purvanchal but the political nerve centre of the eastern Uttar Pradesh, which is voting for 49 seats today.
