BSP Supremo Mayawati (PTI) BSP Supremo Mayawati (PTI)The BJP is running on the directions of capitalists and funding data released by an NGO recently has proved it, BSP supremo Mayawati alleged on Sunday, a charge that was rebuffed by the saffron party. “There was an impression among the common man that the BJP is a party of capitalists and is being run on their directions. Now it has been proved true by the data released by an organisation,” Mayawati said in a statement issued here. Referring to data released by Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), Mayawati said that according to it the BJP got Rs 708 crore from 2012-13 to 2015-16 from capitalists, which was 92 per cent of the political donations it received. Attacking the BJP, which she called a party of “political gimmicks”, she alleged that it was playing in the hands of capitalists due to which there is largescale corruption.
