Lucknow: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Thursday accused the Election Commission (EC) of 'turning a blind eye' to the violation of the model code of conduct by Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath.
चुनाव आयोग की पाबंदी का खुला उल्लंघन करके यूपी के सीएम योगी शहर- शहर व मन्दिरों में जाकर एवं दलित के घर बाहर का खाना खाने आदि का ड्रामा करके तथा उसको मीडिया में प्रचारित/प्रसारित करवाके चुनावी लाभ लेने का गलत प्रयास लगातार कर रहे हैं किन्तु आयोग उनके प्रति मेहरबान है, क्यों?

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is flouting the EC's ban imposed on him by visiting temples and eating food in the houses of Dalits. He is doing drama and is broadcasting the same on the media platforms for electoral gains. Why the Commission is so kind to him?" Mayawati tweeted in Hindi.

She further accused the EC of being biased and 'wrongly favouring' BJP leaders.
अगर ऐसा ही भेदभाव व बीजेपी नेताओं के प्रति चुनाव आयोग की अनदेखी व गलत मेहरबानी जारी रहेगी तो फिर इस चुनाव का स्वतंत्र व निष्पक्ष होना असंभव है। इन मामलों मे जनता की बेचैनी का समाधान कैसे होगा? बीजेपी नेतृत्व आज भी वैसी ही मनमानी करने पर तुला है जैसा वह अबतक करता आया है, क्यों?

"It is impossible to have free and fair elections this time if the EC continues to neglect the moves made by BJP leaders. How will this resolve the public's discomfort? The BJP leadership is still bent on doing the same arbitrariness as it has been so far, why?" she said in a follow-up tweet.
Mayawati also claimed that the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi seem nervous in the same way how Congress was ahead of the previous elections due to the fear of losing.

"The real reason for this is that along with poor and farmers, the BJP is indulging in anti-Muslim, and anti-Dalit deeds," she claimed.
Polling for the second phase of general elections is underway across the country, including in eight Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh. (ANI)
