Same Mistake by BJP and Congress: Mayawati

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Pary (BJP) is making the same mistake that the Congress did during Indira Gandhi's time, by portraying Modi is India and India is Modi.

Mayawati tweeted, "By portraying Modi is India & India is Modi, the BJP/RSS are committing the same mistake & insulting India & democracy, which the Congress had done earlier by declaring Indira is India & India is Indira. A huge pity & most condemnable. People should not forgive them for this sin." (sic)

Recently, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath described the armed forces as "Modi ji Ki Sena".

Referring to developments after the Pulwama attack, Adityanath said that the Congress used to feed biryani to terrorists while PM Narendra Modi's Army is giving bullets and bombs to terrorists.

"Congress ke log aatankwadiyon ko biryani khilate the aur Modi ji ki sena aatankwadiyon ko goli aur gola deti hai (Congress people would feed biryani to terrorists, while Modi's army gives them bullet or bomb). This is the difference. The Congress people use 'ji' in Masood Azhar's name to encourage terrorism," Adityanath said.

His comments were blamed by the opposition. Former Navy Chief L Ramdas had also complained to the Election Commission. The EC has served a show cause notice to Adityanath for calling the Indian Army "Modiji ki Sena".
