Centre misusing CBI to coerce Maya, Mulayam: BJP

The BJP on Wednesday accused the UPA government of ‘misusing’ the CBI to coerce Mulayam Singh Yadav and Mayawati to continue supporting it from outside. The party asked the two leaders to explain reasons for supporting a ‘scam-tainted’ government at the Centre.

‘It is obvious that the UPA government is dangling the sword of the CBI probe against Mulayam and Mayawati into corruption charges against them to coerce them to support it,’ BJP Spokesperson Syed Shahanwaz Hussain told reporters here. More than the government, the onus was on the BSP and SP chiefs to explain the paradox behind opposing the FDI in multi-brand retail on one hand and supporting the central government on the other, he said.

‘It will be appropriate if Mulayam and Mayawati explain their stand on the reasons that compel them to continue supporting the scam-tainted Congress-led government at the Centre,’ Hussain said. The BJP leader claimed that the UPA government would fail to last its full term despite adopting ‘carrot and stick’ policy to keep the allies together and predicted mid-term polls sooner than expected.
