BJP, Cong not serious in bringing back black money: BSP

Accusing Congress and BJP of not being serious in bringing back blackmoney stashed away in foreign banks, BSP supremo Mayawati today said it appeared both parties had deposited in those banks black money earned through corrupt means.

"Both BJP and Congress appear non-serious on the issue of bringing back black money stashed in foreign banks. It seems they had deposited their blackmoney earned through corruption in foreign countries," the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said at an election meeting here.

Making an appeal to the electorate to vote for the BSP, she said those playing with the sentiments of the people should not be allowed to come to power.

"The opposition parties are misleading the people and wrong opinion polls are showed against BSP," she claimed cautioning the voters to remain aware of such gimmicks.

Attacking Congress for seeking votes to ensure development, she said the party which "ruined" the state in its 40 years rule, should be ashamed of its actions.

Claiming that her government had demanded Rs 80,000 crore for the state's development from the Centre, Mayawati said Rs36,000 crore was meant to be spent in eastern UP.
