A day after embarrassing Rajya Sabha defeat, BSP chief Mayawati launched a scathing attack against ruling BJP for using state machinery for winning the polls. 

‘This immoral victory cannot make up for BJP’s defeat in Gorakhpur and Phulpur. Even they are aware of this,’ the BSP president said. 

The BSP supremo said that the ruling party used state machinery for winning the elections. ‘BJP did not deter from indulging in malpractices. They exerted all their force to ensure that the BSP candidate does not win at any cost. The entire system was deployed to ensure that the newly formed ties between BSP and SP loosens,’ Mayawati was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. 

For those who thought the SP-BSP tieup was thing of past after the Rajya Sabha verdict, Mayawati has the final word.

‘I would like to tell BJP and company that their malpractices will not succeed in breaking the ties between SP and BSP. Yesterday's results have not affected the SP-BSP tie up in any way, not even by an inch, the BSP Chief said.

Talking about the alliance, Mayawati said, ‘We share the same views on yesterday's result just like any one else. We believe Narendra Modi and Amit Shah used the system to make their candidates win. An environment of fear was created due to which there was also some cross-voting done.’

Talking about the strategy for the Upper House polls, Mayawati said, ‘a plan had been made that we come together so that the BJP candidate couldn't win the election. It was also tried to make an effort to ensure that this election does not become a blot on the face of democracy.’
