BSP chief Mayawati on Saturday flayed the Congress for allegedly neglecting the poor in the past which compelled them to migrate from their native places for livelihood.

Her statement comes a day after she skipped the video conference convened by Congress president Sonia Gandhi, signaling that she continues to nurse strong reservations against the grand old party. The straw in the wind also suggests that expectation in the Opposition camp of the BSP joining an anti-BJP formulation featuring Congress in it was discovery of the proverbial mare’s nest.

This is an ominous signal as the BSP is a potent force in the country’s largest state of UP, and has support base in various parts of the country to reckon with. BSP sources say Mayawati is mindful of the Congress having indulged in subterfuge in luring all six MLAs (BSP) in Rajasthan in its fold even though the party had extended support to CM Ashok Gehlot. — TNS
