Ballia: Hitting out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Sunday said the saffron party has not even projected its chief ministerial candidate and talks about winning the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls.
“How the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would win the assembly polls when it has not even projected the name of their chief minister candidate,” Mayawati said while addressing rally in Ballia.
Reiterating her claim that BJP would end reservation system after coming in power, Mayawati said: “If BJP comes to power in Uttar Pradesh they will impose RSS agenda and end reservation. I got this information from reliable sources.”

Mayawati also cornered Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, accusing the Samajwadi Party of copying her policies.
