Mayawati’s statement came a day after the chief minister Yogi Adityanath highlighted the performance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav called upon the party workers to highlight the development projects launched under its government.

Mayawati alerted the people against getting swayed by tempting promises, launches and foundation of projects being made by rival parties. Claiming that under her previous four terms, the state moved fast on the path of development, she said, the BSP governments had worked with the “sarvajan hitay- sarvajan sukhay” policy.

She said during her governments several projects were launched for the welfare of the weaker sections, the law and order was under control.

“The people are hurt and sad with the misrule under BJP and SP governments, the violence in the recent panchayat election reminds of the jungle raj and anarchy under the SP governments. For the return of the good days, the people are eagerly waiting for the assembly election to vote BSP to power,” she said in the statement.

She said several development projects including Yamuna Expressway, Taj International Airport, Ganga Expressway, Metro rail, Buddhist circuit, several hospitals and medical colleges were launched under the BSP government.
