Kannauj (UP): Lashing out at the BJP, Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati Thursday said this Lok Sabha election would see the end of those who chant "NaMo, NaMo".
She was addressing a joint rally here with Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav and Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) president Ajit Singh.
"This election will see the end of those chanting 'NaMo, NaMo and pave the way for those who raise Jai Bheem. Seeing your response it appears you are going to ensure the victory of alliance candidates," she said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is often referred to as 'NaMo' by his supporters.
Dimple Yadav, the sitting SP MP from Kannauj and wife of Akhilesh Yadav, is seeking re-election from the seat as the joint candidate of the SP-BSP-RLD alliance.
Mayawati reminded the electorate that the Congress did not implement the Mandal Commission's report and that when the party was in power, it did not give Bharat Ratna to Dalit leader and architect of the Constitution B R Ambedkar.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav expressed confidence that the SP-BSP-RLD alliance in Uttar Pradesh will give a new prime minister to the country.
He was addressing a joint rally here with BSP supremo Mayawati and RLD president Ajit Singh.
"This alliance will give a new prime minister to the country," Yadav said.
Slamming Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the SP chief said the BJP would not be able to talk about their performance. "So, how can they face the SP-BSP-RLD alliance," he asked.
The alliance has been formed to ensure social justice and take the ideals of B R Ambedkar, Ram Manohar Lohia, Kanshiram and 'Netaji' (Mulayam Singh Yadav) forward, the SP chief said.
