Lucknow, May 15—Terming Narendra Modi’s legacy as Gujarat Chief Minister a “stain on the BJP and country”, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) President Mayawati on Wednesday said that Modi’s tenure as Prime Minister also had been full of violence and hence he was ‘unfit for the office he holds.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi was indeed the Chief Minister of Gujarat for a longer time than I was the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh but his legacy is a blot on the BJP and the country while in my regime Uttar Pradesh was free of riots and anarchy,” she said referring to Modi’s tenure as Gujarat CM from 2001 to 2014 as a black spot.
Mayawati further said that her government was ‘fit’ when it came to matters of public interest while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been ‘unfit’. “Modi’s term as a Prime Minister as well as Chief Minister was full of violence. He is unfit to hold the public office. He failed to adhere to the Indian culture and Constitution and has been unfit as the PM of the country,” she said.
She also scoffed at the Prime Minister for calling BSP – ‘Behenji ki Sampatti Party’. “Whatever the national President of BSP has, it has been given by well-wishers and the society, and nothing is hidden from the government,” she said and added that the incumbent government sweeps all its bad deeds under the carpet.
Stepping up her attack, she accused the BJP of having the most corrupt members. “BJP has a disease of calling other parties corrupt. The nation knows that the most corrupt people belong to their party.”
“The entire country knows that most of those having benami properties and the corrupt are connected with the BJP,” she said, claiming that Modi is honest only on paper, just like he is an OBC only on paper.
Terming note ban the “biggest scam”, the BSP leader said it is also an issue which needs investigation. The country also knows what the BJP’s politics is in not getting back the black money from abroad, she added.
