BJP leader demands BSP be barred from fighting polls

A BJP leader has moved the Election Commission against BSP chief Mayawati accusing her of seeking votes in the name of caste and demanded that her party be debarred from contesting elections.

BJP’s UP executive member Neeraj Shankar Saxena moved a petition against Mayawati demanding that her party be debarred from contesting polls and filing of FIR against her for “flouting” Supreme Court directives. “Mayawati on December 24 and January 3 presented caste-wise details of ticket distribution clearly stating that her party has given tickets to how many Muslims, backwards, SCs and others,” Saxena told media.
