'Saugat-e-Modi' is only BJP's political interest: Mayawati

'Saugat-e-Modi' is only BJP's political interest: Mayawati

Lucknow, Mar 26 (UNI) Bahujan Samaj Pafrty (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Wednesday said Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) announcement to send Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'love message and gift' in the form of 'Saugat-e-Modi' to 32 lakh poor minority families on festivals is only their political interest.
Taking to X, Mayawati wrote, "BJP's announcement to send the PM's 'love message and gift' in the form of 'Saugat-e-Modi' to 32 lakh poor minority families on Eid, Baisakhi, Good Friday and Easter is only their political interest. When Muslims and Bahujan Samaj are sad and worried about the safety of their lives, property and religion, then what is the benefit of this?"
She said, "Whereas it would have been better if the central and state governments of BJP, instead of giving this gift of Modi to some poor families of Muslim and other religious minority communities, had made permanent arrangements for employment to remove their immense poverty, unemployment and backwardness and also paid proper attention to their security."
