BSP leader Mayawati on Monday slammed BJP saying the party was trying to capitalise on the work done by the BSP government in the past. In her recent tweet she said, "Under the BSP government in UP, about two-and-a-half lakh, poor families were provided with basic amenities and preparations were going on for about 15-20 lakh houses, but due to the change of government, this work remained incomplete, which BJP was trying to capitalise on. What did they do on their own?"
"Fear, corruption, discrimination, and insecurity of life and property, poor law and order in UP, unemployment, and migration of lakhs are the biggest problems of this state," she added.
On Saturday, BSP chief Mayawati announced 51 candidates out of 55 seats for the second phase of UP elections. "today, I'm announcing the list of 51 candidates out of 55 seats for the second phase of UP elections. This time we've given slogan 'Har Polling Booth Ko Jeetana hai, BSP Ko Satta Mein Lana Hai'. I hope party workers will work hard & will form BSP govt like of 2007" she said.
Meanwhile, the Election Commission of India announced the voting dates for the Assembly polls of Uttar Pradesh.
