Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Thursday expressed concern over a security lapse during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to poll-bound Punjab on Wednesday and demanded a high-level inquiry into the incident.
In a series of tweets, Mayawati said the security lapse during PM Modi’s visit to Punjab is very worrying.
It is necessary to take this incident very seriously, Mayawati said and called for a high-level impartial investigation so that the culprits can get proper punishment for such an incident.
In view of the assembly elections to be held in the states like Punjab, political tussle and accusations regarding this incident were not proper, the four-time former UP chief minister Mayawati said.
While giving a pause to politics over the incident, a fair investigation should be conducted, she said.
The BSP is contesting the coming assembly elections in Punjab in alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). While the BSP has been allotted 20 seats, the SAD will field candidates on 97 seats.
