LUCKNOW — Voters in Varanasi are being bribed and threatened by BJP to make sure victory for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleged BSP President Mayawati on Friday. She also questioned why the Election Commission is not keeping an eye on Modi’s Lok Sabha constituency like in West Bengal.
Taking to Twitter, Mayawati also claimed that “outsiders” were camping in Varanasi and luring and threatening people to vote for Modi.
पीएम श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी को वाराणसी में हर हाल में जितवाने की कोशिश में वहाँ के हर गली-कूचे व घर-घर में जो बाहरी लोगों के माध्यम से पहले लालच और फिर धमकी आदि दी जा रही है उससे वहाँ मतदान स्वतंत्र व निष्पक्ष कैसे हो पाएगा? चुनाव आयोग की, बंगाल की तरह, वाराणसी पर नजर क्यों नहीं है?

“How can free and fair elections be held in Varanasi if efforts are being made to ensure Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s victory? The voters are being first lured and then threatened. Why is the Election Commission not keeping an eye here like it is doing in West Bengal?” she tweeted in Hindi.
The Bahujan Samaj Party leader has been continuously attacking the BJP and Modi for not fulfilling the promises made in 2014 and has even made personal attacks on the Prime Minister.
She has even positioned herself as a Prime Ministerial candidate and said that while Modi was ‘unfit’, she was ‘fit to be Prime Minister.
