Maya gave in to UPA pressure,says BJP

State BJP president Surya Pratap Shahi said,“On Sunday morning,Mayawati condemned the police crackdown on Baba Ramdev in Delhi and urged the Supreme Court to take suo motu cognizance of the incident,and by the evening she did a U-turn and Baba Ramdev was not allowed to enter the state.”

“I would like to know from the Chief Minister what were her compulsions for denying permission to Baba Ramdev for holding his protest in Noida. If he can do the same peacefully in Delhi,why can’t he be allowed to do it in UP,” asked Shahi.

By her action,Mayawati had proved that she was one with the Congress on issues of black money and corruption,he said. “Mayawati followed the diktats of the Congress since she herself is under investigation by the CBI,” said Shahi.

He said in the past also,both the SP and the BSP had bailed out the UPA government on corruption issue.

“The most recent case is the report of the Public Accounts Committee of the Lok Sabha headed by Murli Manohar Joshi,when both the SP and BSP came to the rescue of the Congress.”

Mayawati,meanwhile,welcomed the Supreme Court decision to take suo motu cognizance of the police action at Ramlila Maidan.
