LUCKNOW, Aug 21: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati today vehemently denied tweeting a picture of herself with Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav calling for opposition unity.
“The tweeter account is not our official site and the entire post was malafied and derogatory,” she said in a statement here.
She said that the BSP always issues press statement to raise its voice on any issue and has never tweeted.
“Besides, our slogan is ‘Sarvajan Hitaya, Sarvajan Sukhaya’ while the tweet has the slogan of ‘Bahujan hitaya, bahujan sukhaya’ which also proves that it is not our official site”.
However, in her release, Ms Mayawati did not clarify whether she will be attending the opposition rally in Patna on August 27 or not.
Media reports from Delhi today said that a BSP tweet on Sunday shared a poster which says, “Samajik Nyay ke Samarthan me Vipaksh Ek Ho’ with photographs of Mayawati, SP president Akhilesh Yadav, RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav and his son Tejsvi Yadav, JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav, West Bengal chief minister Mamta Banerjee and Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
