Mayawati further said, “This was a well-planned strategy of SP supremo to divert attention of the people from his 'putra moh' (love for son) and while taking a jibe at the SP party she said, “drama was endorsed by Mulayam to show the power of his son Akhilesh."

BSP chief further alleged the SP government of failing on all fronts. “The is fake it is clear that Akhilesh has been given the power and right to distribute party tickets.”

Highlights:

# Mayawati also targeted re-induction of Gayatri Prajapati in the cabinet, ‘ a person who was mired in controversy due to corruption in mining department has been taken back in cabinet.’

# CM not returning PWD department to his uncle clearly shows that something is wrong.

# Mayawati further attacked the BJP and said silence of the party is shocking at it has 73 MPs from the state.

# Earlier in the day Mulayam Singh had said, Akhilesh should remember people accepted him as CM as he is my son, He never had any individual standing in politics.
