“SP is trying to give a message to Muslims of eastern UP that only it can deal with BJP.

This, however is not true”, she said.

“It is well known that when BJP failed to vitiate the atmosphere in western district besides Faizabad and Amethi, in connivance with SP it started a new kind of drama in Varanasi adopting the policy of controversy to influence the elections on the remaining seats”, she alleged.

Mayawati criticized Modi and other partymen, specially Amit Shah for allegedly creating communal and casteist disputes with ill intentions.

“SP has given a chance to BJP to create a wave in it's favour by holding dharna. This could have been averted had SP wanted so.

Even if there is a security issue, it was the duty of SP government to ensure it”, Mayawati said.  

Top BJP leaders including Arun Jaitley today held protests in Varanasi against the Election Commission and the Returning Officer who had denied permission to Modi for holding a public meeting at a venue of his choice.
