Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati accused Uttar Pradesh’s Samajwadi government of political vendetta after hoardings put up by BSP workers for B.R. Ambedkar’s 122nd birth anniversary (on Sunday) were removed by the state government Saturday night. The former chief minister said: “The BSP is number one target for the Samajwadi Party, and our people are being targeted at all levels. When the BSP returns to power, we will teach them a lesson.”
The SP hit back swiftly, and said Ms Mayawati should realise “she will never come back to power in the state, and should learn to live with it”.
