"In an attempt to win-over Dalit votes, both Congress and BSP are now crossing all decency in public life and are talking issues of bathroom instead of people's plight," BJP vice-president Muqhtar Abbas Naqvi said in New Delhi.

The saffron party leader also sought to warn the Uttar Pradesh chief minister against any utterances aimed at BJP or its leaders.

"She would be given an appropriate answer, befitting to her comment, if she dares to make any statement against Rajnath Singh or any BJP leader," he said.
