Defending S C Mishra, Mayawati said media reports on his relatives getting plum positions in the state government are not true.

“His wife was not nominated by anyone. If anyone related to him had been posted anywhere, it was solely based on merit,” said Mayawati. She added that there were others in her party whose brothers or wives had become legislators on BSP tickets, but no one focuses on them.
