UPA shielding Mayawati in DA case 'for political gains': BJP

BJP Tuesday accused the UPA government at the Centre of shielding Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati in a disproportionate assets case "for political gains".

"CBI has all evidences against Mayawati in the disproportionate assets case, but the matter is being hushed up. Actually Congress is saving the Chief Minister," BJP national vice-president Kalraj Mishra alleged during his Jan Swabhiman Yatra.

He dubbed Congress and BSP as the two sides of the same coin and alleged that BSP was looting government money in Uttar Pradesh.

The BJP leader said the Mayawati government had failed to deliver services like education, security and health.

Alleging major scam in National Rural Health Mission, he said expired medicines were supplied in government hospitals in Varanasi and Gorakhpur.
