Mayawati plays Dalit card, says BJP will scrap reservation

Prime Minsiter Narendra Modi had on Monday coined a new acronym for BSP -- the Behenji Sampatti party -- during a rally in Orai.

In a bid to dissuade the Dalits from voting for BJP, Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati on Wednesday said that she has the information that the saffron party would scrap reservation if voted to power in Uttar Pradesh.

Recalling the Rohith Vemulla's suicide and Una Dalit thrashing incidents, Mayawati said such incidents would only rise if BJP comes to power.

In a tit-for-tat response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Behenji Sampatti party jibe, the BSP chief called BJP Bhartiya Jumla Party.

Modi on Monday went all guns blazing on the Bahujan Samaj Party and said the Mayawati-led party went scurrying around for hiding their cash after demonetisation was announced.

Hittiing back at Mayawati's recent remarks criticising the note ban, the prime minsiter had coined a new acronym for BSP -- the Behenji Sampatti party -- during a rally in Orai, UP.
