Attacking Samajwadi Party, she alleged it has been shielding criminals and communal forces and has a clear understanding with the BJP.
She also claimed that the infighting in Mulayam Singh Yadav’s clan was a mere “drama” enacted by the SP patriarch in which his brother Shivpal Yadav was made a scapegoat to divert the attention of people from the “failures” of his son and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.
“Congress appears to have totally bowed before the SP by accepting the tainted face of Akhilesh Yadav as the chief ministerial candiate. It shows Congress’ political bankruptcy.
“Now people are asking whether Congress was preparing for a fight against the BJP with such a tainted face,” she said, adding that it is known that in Bihar, Nitish Kumar had somehow saved the Congress.
“People are asking as to how Congress will face the secular people of Uttar Pradesh,” she said.
The BSP chief said that the “real selfish face” of Congress has been exposed at election time and the top leadership of Congress has proved that “this party is running on oxygen support” in UP.
