BSP chief bogged down by fear of CBI, ED and Pegasus, alleges Congress leader
Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati did not respond to a Congress offer for an alliance ahead of the recently concluded Assembly election in Uttar Pradesh, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi revealed on Saturday.
Mr. Gandhi was delivering the keynote address at the launch of the book The Dalit Truth, edited by his close aide K. Raju.
Mr. Gandhi said he was able to speak freely because there was no corruption charge against him. The CBI, ED and other enforcement agencies were controlling the political class.
“You must have seen, Mayawati ji did not open her mouth at all,” he said.
Mr. Gandhi said the Congress reached out to her for an alliance in which the BSP would have been the senior partner.
“She didn’t speak to us at all. I respect Kanshi Ram ji, who with his sweat and blood, gave voice to the Dalits of Uttar Pradesh, and today Mayawati is saying that she will not fight for that voice,” Mr. Gandhi said.
Mr. Gandhi alleged Ms. Mayawati was bogged down by fear of the CBI, ED and Pegasus.
