Terming the BJP and the RSS casteist outfits, Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Friday asked the former party to make public the source of funds deposited in its bank accounts during the elections.
“The BJP and the RSS are casteist outfits that do not want to see people of the deprived sections progress in education and business,” the BSP chief said here.
The former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister’s remarks came a day after the Income Tax Department attached a ‘benami’ commercial plot worth ₹400 crore in Noida belonging to her brother and his wife.
The BSP president said after coming to power under Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, the BJP had bought properties worth millions of rupees. “From where has this money come to the BJP? Why are the BJP and the RSS afraid of giving their account? Is this massive wealth not BJP’s benami property,” she asked.
The BSP chief said when their own people became wealthy overnight, they had no problem but they could not tolerate it when people from the deprived sections progressed, especially in business.
