SP will be put on ventilator after UP polls: Mayawati

BSP chief Mayawati on Monday took a dig at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and his wife Dimple Yadav and asserted that the Samajwadi Party will have to be put on ventilator after polls.

"SP ke babuaa ko SP ki bhaabhi bhi nahi bacha paayegi (Even the SP's sister-in-law (Dimple), will not be able to save its much-venerated young man Akhilesh)," she said at a poll meeting here.

Mayawati also said after the poll results are out, the SP will require ventilator support to get the much-needed Oxygen.

Her retort came a day after SP MP from Kannauj Dimple Yadav said in Jaunpur, "Buaa ji (Mayawati) has been waiting with a Raakhi in her hand. But after SP's alliance with Congress, she is feeling the pain."

She also sought to ridicule SP patron and said, "Mulayam Singh Yadav seems to have been affected by putra-moh (blind love for son), and has gone on to insult brother Shivpal. This will lead to division of votes." The BSP chief claimed that most of the welfare schemes pursued by the SP government owed their origin to BSP rule.
