Modi unfit to hold PM post, tenure as Gujarat CM a black spot, says Maya

LUCKNOW: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati launched a fresh attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, calling him “totally unfit” for the country’s top job and stressing that he should not get another term in office.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Mayawati compared her rule in Uttar Pradesh with that of Modi in Gujarat, and added that his tenure as chief minister of the western state was a “blot” on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the country.

Modi ruled Gujarat for 13 years from 2001 until he took office as Prime Minister in 2014.

Mayawati also underlined that Uttar Pradesh was free of riots and disorder when the BSP ruled the state.

“Modi’s tenure, not only as Gujarat chief minister but also as the country’s Prime Minister, has been chaotic, violent, and tense and filled with hatred,” she alleged, appearing to allude to the 2002 Gujarat riots.
