Peeved at the "jadu ki jhappi" remark by Sanjay Dutt, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Monday attacked the Samajwadi party, calling it a gathering of people who are good at little other than singing, dancing and fake Gandhigiri.

"My political opponents have no good work to their credit and are demoralised over the BSP's growing popularity. Hence, they are now gathering people who are good at little except singing, dancing and "farzi" (fake) Gandhigiri", the BSP

supremo told an election meeting.

Without naming Dutt or the Samajwadi Party which has made the actor its General Secretary, she said, "Our political opponents need to remember that naachne-gaane wale (those who sing and dance), through their farzi Gandhigiri, may attract huge crowds but will not help them get votes". The remarks came in the wake of Dutt having allegedly said at an election meeting that he wanted to give "jaadu ki jhappi aur pappi" (magical hug and kiss) to Mayawati, following which an FIR, accusing the actor of having made "obscene" comments, has been registered in Pratapgarh district of the state. Earlier, the BSP supremo came down heavily on the Congress for its "failure to remove poverty an unemployment from the country despite having ruled it for the most part of the 61 years since Independence.
