Taking a jibe at the trio of Modi, SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal for holding different rallies in the state on the same day, Verma said all of them will “flop” in the state.
Targetting Modi for his promise to deliver a corruption free government in the country under his leadership, Verma said Modi should first talk about the three ministers in his government who are facing corruption charges.
He also sought to expose Modi for his concerns about the poor and the backward classes, saying that while he as a minister in UP he had reserved 27 per cent seats for backward classes in government jobs, Modi has failed to do so in Gujarat.
“In Gurajat, only seven per reservation is there for the backward classes and Modi is talking about development in his states. There is no reservation in panchayats,” Verma said.
He said neither Modi or Mulayam are “true patriots” of the country and both are together to grab power. Hitting out at Mulayam for espousing the cause of the Muslims, he said the SP chief did little to alleviate the sufferings of the riot victims of Muzaffarnagar.
“We sent blankets to the relief camps to provide them shelter from cold but Mulayam ran bulldozers in the relief camps,” he claimed.
Raking up the issue of large scale police recruitment in Uttar Pradesh when Mulayam was the chief minister, he said 16,000 of the 22,500 recruited were from his caste.
Slamming the functioning of the SP-led government in the state, “Mulayam is running a government of goons and corruption”.
