Mayawati slams BJP over UP Rajya Sabha wins
Lucknow, Mar 24 (IBNS): After Bahujan Samaj Party suffered defeat in the closely fought Rajya Sabha poll for a seat in Uttar Pradesh, party chief Mayawati on Saturday came out in attacking the BJP and said the ruling party misused power to win the poll.
"In case yesterday's 10 seats, people, including the media, have seen that the Modi and Adityanath governments misused their power," BSP chief Mayawati told media.
Mayawati accused the BJP of creating an atmosphere of terror.
"Everyone knows BJP's misuse of power. They even established an atmosphere of terror," she said.
"Cross voting occurred yesterday," she said.
He said the BJP recently received a blow after its defeat in the recently held Lok Sabha by-polls in Uttar Pradesh.
Beating the Samajwadi Party (SP) and practically decimating the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won nine out of 10 seats in the Rajya Sabha elections.
BJP chief Amit Shah has beaten Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav in the prestige battle for the Upper House seat.
This has come as a big boon for the ruling BJP.
In another crucial win, Anil Agarwal, who was BJP’s ninth candidate, defeated BSP’s Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar.
Actress Jaya Bachchan won the single seat for SP.
