Hours after the Samajwadi Party (SP) brought out a new poster in the run-up to the 2024 polls, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati hit out at SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, saying Yadav hid his flaws using childish rhetoric.

The BSP leader took to Twitter and took a jibe at Akhilesh Yadav and wrote, “In order to hide his anti-people shortcomings, he keeps trying to divert the attention of the people by making unrestrained and childish rhetoric against others due to which people and other opposition parties of the country also need to beware of SP.”

Earlier in the day, the Samajwadi Party brought out a new poster supporting Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s call for Opposition unity. It says, UP + Bihar=Gaya Modi sarkar.

Mayawati also claimed that the Samajwadi Party was losing its base in Uttar Pradesh due to its own actions.

“SP is losing its support base in UP, for which its own action is the main reason. If there is news of mutual quarrels, tussles and criminal elements in the family, party and their alliance and their open collusion with criminal elements and jail matching, etc., then why should there be no disappointment among the people?” she wrote on Twitter.

She also alleged that SP let the BJP do whatever it wanted.

“Also, the internal complicity of SP with the BJP is not hidden from anyone and this is the reason that the BJP government has got a walkover here when the SP is the main opposition party and the government is free to do its own thing. Due to this, the life of the general public and especially the Muslim society was disturbed and there was a lot of restlessness among them,” she added.
