Promising the return of ‘achhe din’ in Uttar Pradesh, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Sunday appealed to the people to vote her party back to power ‘with absolute majority’ in the forthcoming assembly polls. Addressing a ‘sarvjan sukhay-sarvjan hitay’ rally here, Mayawati tore into the Congress and BJP, accusing the latter of failing to keep the “tall promises made in last elections”. Mayawati said before coming to power, BJP and its PM candidate Narendra Modi made tall promises of ‘better days’ but only gifted ‘worse days’ to the people. “The government at the Centre is being run by rich industrialists and it is trying to benefit them. If Congress ended reservation in promotions, the BJP privatised majority of works of various ministries, benefitting industrialists and gradually ending reservation benefits,” she added.
