Invoking the Bofors and Rafale deals, BSP chief Mayawati on Sunday accused both the BJP and the Congress of “corruption” in defence deals, and of misusing the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate to “drag” Opposition parties into false cases.
Addressing a public meeting in Janjgir-Champa district in Chhattisgarh, Ms. Mayawati asked the Congress why it did not implement its proposed ‘NYAY’ minimum income guarantee scheme in the party-ruled States, including Chhattisgarh ahead of the Lok Sabha election.
Turning her guns on the BJP, Ms. Mayawati said, “The Modi government has exploited farmers, dalits, tribals and minorities, and has been biased against them. The government has a casteist and communal thinking.”
