Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Mayawati responded to Rahul Gandhi’s criticisms about her party’s current strategy. In a message on X, Mayawati mentioned that many people believe the Congress party acted like a “B team” for the BJP during the recent Delhi Assembly elections, which helped the BJP win. She pointed out that Congress performed poorly, with many of its candidates losing their deposits.
Mayawati advised Rahul Gandhi to reflect on his own party’s issues before criticizing others, especially her party. Gandhi, while speaking to Dalit students in Raebareli, expressed disappointment that Mayawati did not join forces with him to fight against the BJP, suggesting that their unity could have led to a different election outcome.
In several posts, Mayawati highlighted that in regions where Congress is strong, there is a hostility towards the BSP and its supporters. She accused Congress of being inconsistent by talking about an alliance with the BSP only when it suits them.
After Gandhi’s comments, BSP members protested in Raebareli by putting up posters accusing him of being two-faced, claiming he pretends to help Dalits while also trying to undermine Mayawati, who has been a long-time supporter of the Dalit community.
