Lucknow, April 27: Bolstering the government ahead of voting on opposition-sponsored cut motion in Lok Sabha, BSP, with 21 MPs, on Tuesday came out openly in support of the ruling UPA.
“We are supporting the government since the day one to keep the communal forces at bay. At the time of the formation of the UPA Government, we gave unconditional outside support and that is there,” party supremo and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati told a press conference in Luknow.
“This is not a new situation. We will support the government on cut motion. In the name of cut motion, communal forces are trying to come back to power at the Centre,” she said.
Mayawati also said normally her party should have supported the cut motion because of the issues on which it was being brought.
CBI cases were there against her which, she said, they would fight legally.
