Video | Mayawati hits back at PM Modi: 'First build Hindu graveyards in BJP-ruled states'

BSP supremo Mayawati on Tuesday addressed a press conference in Lucknow took a jibe at PM Narendra Modi for his statements made during the poll trail for upcoming UP assembly polls. 

"BJP must have realised by now that they are not going to form Government in Uttar Pradesh," BSP Chief Mayawati said during press conference.

On Monday also, Mayawati had hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, terming him as “Mr Negative Dalit Man”. “Perturbed at the rising popularity of the BSP, the prime minister is indulging in cheap things and indulging in petty talk about its supreme leader and has termed BSP as ‘Behenji Sampatti Party’ (Behenji Assets Party),” she said at an election rally here. Mayawati is popularly known as ‘Behenji’.

“He (Modi) is an expert in jumlebaazi (rhetoric) but when he will get a tit-for-tat reply he will forget all about it and today I have been compelled to do the same for him,” she said.

“Narendra Damodardas Modi means Mr Negative Dalit Man, he is anti-dalit... This negative dalit man does not like that common people give small contributions in running the movement which is also run through donations,” Mayawati said.

Her retort came soon after Modi, at an election rally in Orai region of Jalaun in Bundelkhand region, noted that BSP is no longer Bahujan Samaj Party.
