Samajwadi Party Remembering Janeshwar Mishra For Political Gains: Mayawati

Mayawati's tweet came at a time when the Samajwadi Party is taking out a cycle yatra (rally) across tehsils and its chief, Akhilesh Yadav, leading the rally in Lucknow.

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Thursday said the Samajwadi Party is now remembering the late Janeshwar Mishra after the immense success of her party's intellectual conferences. This move by the Samajwadi Party is one of political interest and is aimed at gaining cheap popularity, she added. "After the immense success of the BSP''s "Prabuddh Varg vichar sangoshthi" (intellectual conferences) in the districts of UP, the Samajwadi Party has now remembered Janeshwar Mishra and his community, which has faced harassment at the hands of the BJP government," Mayawati said in a tweet in Hindi. "If all this is not a drama for their political interest and cheap popularity, what else is it," she questioned.
