In a series of tweets, the BSP chief said vote for change would also provide relief to the people from corruption in the local bodies, lack of development (including roads, sanitation and drains) as well as arbitrary increase in house tax and huge interest on it. For liberation from exploitation, the change for ‘sarvajan- hitay’ of BSP was necessary, she said.

In addition to the misuse of government machinery, the ruling parties, be it the BJP or the SP, adopted many tricks in the election. But enlightened and hardworking urban people were working towards their real interest, including comfort, cleanliness and curbing corruption. They should make effective use of their vote in the election, she said.

“It is natural that if the people of UP want to get rid of their day-to-day troubles, entanglements, oppression and insecurity, they will have to come out of the illusion of tempting promises made by the BJP government limited to paper. This is appeal of the BSP,” she said.
