Turncoats won’t help: Mayawati to SP

New Delhi, October 31

BSP chief Mayawati on Sunday cautioned arch rival SP that weaning her party leaders ahead of the Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh would not bring any dividend to it.

“With the UP Assembly elections approaching, people have begun switching sides. This will, however, not increase the vote base of any political party, but will only lead to losses,” she tweeted.

Urging her party cadre to keep away from such “opportunistic” people, she said, “There is mushroom of seasonal political parties during the run-up to the elections.” She said people were smart enough to understand such gimmicks and the turncoats would have no effect on them. — TNS
