Mayawati blames Rahul for BJP’s stellar Karnataka win
The BSP supremo, Mayawati who is in an alliance with the JD(S) in Karnataka has blamed the Congress for the BJP winning the elections. She said that the b-team rhetoric is what helped the BJP emerge as the single largest party n Karnataka.
In a written statement, Mayawati said, " I want to suggest to the Congress that it should not use language for its political expediency during an election campaign that ends up benefiting the BJP and RSS.
"It
is
now
apparent
how
they
(Congress)
in
election
speeches
dubbed
the
JD(S)
as
the
B-team
of
BJP,
particularly
in
regions
with
significant
Muslim
population,
thereby
causing
division
in
votes.
This
resulted
in
victory
mostly
of
BJP
candidates
in
these
regions.
BJP
could
not
have
got
104
MLAs
had
the
Congress
not
indulged
in
this
kind
of
rhetoric."
The
BSP
had
contested
in
20
seats
in
Karnataka
and
won
one.
The
BSP
has
said
that
it
would
be
in
alliance
with
the
JDD(S)
during
the
2019
Lok
Sabha
elections
too.
