Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Mayawati made a dig at Uttar Pradesh
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
She said that the chief minister must inform the citizens of Uttar Pradesh that his monastic
institution that he is a resident of for the majority often in Gorakhpur, the constituency in
which he will contest from the upcoming Assembly elections the place can be described as
“not lesser than a big bungalow.”
In a series of tweets written in Hindi on Sunday, an ex-chief minister stated, “Probably the
people of western UP do not know that the monastery where Yogi Ji lives most of the time
in Gorakhpur is no lesser than a big bungalow. It would have been better if he had told
about this.”
Mayawati added that the Chief Minister must have recognized her work while she was in
the position of power.
“Also, it would have been better if the Chief Minister of UP, along with the praise of his
government, had also mentioned the works related to the public interest of the BSP
government because they should know that the cases of giving houses to the poor and land
to the landless, the record of the BSP government have been excellent,” she added.
“Under the Manyavar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji Shahari Garib Awas Yojanaby the BSP
government, more than one and a half lakh pucca houses were given in just two phases,
and many families got the benefit under the Sarvajan Hitaya GaribHousing Ownership
Scheme.
The land was also given to lakhs of landless families,” she wrote to her post.
Uttar Pradesh will go to the elections for the 403-member legislature in seven phases on
February 10, 14, 20, 23, 27, and March 3 and 7.
The counting of votes is scheduled to be conducted on March 10.
