Lok Sabha elections 2019: BSP supremo Mayawati on Saturday attacked BJP government and said the saffron party has started inaugurating projects in UP only now when general elections are near.
“BJP govt has started inaugurating projects in UP only now when general elections are near. PM has laid the foundation stone of Purvanchal Expressway today. Had they done this in 2014 itself, then instead of laying foundation stone today he would've been inaugurating it,” Mayawati said, reported news agency ANI.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in UP on Saturday and on Sunday.
On Saturday, he visited Varanasi and Azamgarh districts of the state. In Azamgarh, he laid the foundation stone of the 340 km long Poorvanchal Expressway.
