Hours after his remark, Mayawati accused Modi of doing “dirty politics”, and demanded his resignation for incidents of Dalit atrocities in the past.
The crime in Alwar led to protests across the state after the woman’s husband said she was raped on April 26 and the police were informed on April 30, but a first information report (FIR) was filed only on May 7.
In a series of tweets on Tuesday, the BSP chief also took a dig at the PM saying: “To mislead people, many leaders have become servants, chief servants, chaiwala and chowkidar. Now we need a true PM… people have had enough of these impersonators and will not be fooled now”, she added.
Mayawati also urged the Election Commission to put a stop on candidates’ temple trips during ban due to the violation of the model code of poll conduct. Mayawati was among a host of leader banned for ‘provocative’ remarks during campaign speeches.
The BSP also urged the EC to monitor the money candidates spent on roadshows and temple trips and include it in the poll expense.
