Lucknow, March 14: Terming Bahujan Samaj Party’s maha rally here tomorrow as a “circus”, Congress today called Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati a “ringmaster” controlling the event and even criticised her for not visiting the trouble-hit Bareilly district.
“The BSP rally is nothing more than a circus where Mayawati is a ringmaster,” UP Congress Committee president Rita Bahuguna Joshi told reporters here.
She alleged that the rally was a ‘vulgar exhibition’ to conceal shifting base of the BSP, where government machinery was being misused and government fund being misutilised.
“Welfare of Dalits, poor, backward and minorities is not the motive behind organising the rally. It only intends to give electorates a message that the situation was still under control despite dwindling base of the BSP,” Joshi said.
