The prime minister on Sunday took a holy dip at the Sangam -- the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati -- in Allahabad and interacted with sanitation workers.
"The attempt to win the elections by announcing the Rs 6,000 per annum scheme for the farmers will not help Modi, as the they have become intelligent," Gehlot said at a press conference.
Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati on Sunday termed the PM-KISAN scheme an insult to the farmers, saying the BJP was hoodwinking them before the general election.
The agency had taken up this enquiry on a complaint by the Uttar Pradesh government which was referred to it in January.
BSP president Mayawati on Monday cited a newspaper report to take a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Rafale deal, saying honesty, national interest and national security can be compromised and ignored for the sake of the "chowkidar".
A day after the Supreme Court said BSP chief Mayawati may have to reimburse the public money spent on erecting her statues, she asked BJP leaders and the media not to "distort" the observation of the court.
Lashing out at media, the BSP supremo said that she was confident that the justice will prevail in SC after her side presents the case.
Public money cannot be utilised for creating own statues and for propagating the political party, said a petition filed by an advocate.
Hitting out at the Congress, Mayawati said, "There is significant relief among the people after the BJP could not form government in Madhya Pradesh.
Describing the plea as a step aimed at influencing the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said it is BJP's latest poll gimmick.
Urging the Election Commission to take strong note of the issue, Mayawati said the latest "revelations" are most sensational and expose the "conspiracy" of the BJP.
It is pertinent to mention here that recently SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and BSP supremo Mayawati have entered into an alliance in which they have agreed on 38 seats each.
Singh, a legislator from the Mughalsarai constituency during a public gathering lashed out at Mayawati calling her 'worse than an eunuch'.
According to media reports, Singh made objectionable remarks on Mayawati over an infamous episode when the BSP chief was reportedly assaulted by Samajwadi Party workers at a guest house in Lucknow in 1995 that triggered decades of animosity between the two parties.
Reacting on the statement, BSP leader Mishra asserted that the SP-BSP alliance has rattled the morale of the BJP leaders and that they have lost their mental balance in fear of losing the coming elections.
She said the rise in the BSP's popularity after its alliance with the Samajwadi Party has created unrest among some parties and leaders.
