BSP supremo Mayawati today attacked the UPA government, alleging that its wrong policies has lead to rise in the prices of essential commodities in the country which has hit the country’s poor and middle class hard.
Addressing a poll rally in Dwarka area here, the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister requested people to vote for her party in the Assembly elections. She urged people not to vote for either Congress or the BJP, as their governments had “failed to improve” the social and economic situation of the weaker sections and minorities.
Mayawati said efforts were made to raise the matter with the governments at the Centre and state, but in vain. “The economic condition of the poor in Muslim community and other religious minorities too is not very good. This fact has been brought to light in the Sachar committee report,” she said.
