Rahul Gandhi today appeared soft on Bahujan Samaj Party stating that his respect for Mayawati at personal level is “intact”.
“BSP government might have committed mistakes. I personally respect Mayawatiji. I respect Kanshi Ram also and there can be no comparison between Mayawati and BJP,” he said.
The Congress vice president was replying to a question about the possibility of an alliance with BSP in the future at a press conference here addressed jointly by him and Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav.
“BSP ran government and had committed mistakes but the respect is intact… There is a lot of difference between BJP and BSP. BJP’s ideology is harmful to the country but Mayawati’s ideology is not. Do not compare Maywatiji with RSS,” he said praising the BSP supremo.
