BSP chief Mayawati says Election Commission should ensure free, impartial polls in Varanasi
BSP chief Mayawati today alleged that outsiders are being used to lure and threaten voters in Varanasi to ensure a win for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asked why the Election Commission (EC) was not focusing on the constituency.
Slamming the EC, she asked why the poll body was not keeping a watch on Varanasi like it was doing in West Bengal.
In a tweet, Mayawati charged, "In a bid to ensure that Prime Minister Narendra Modi wins from Varanasi, outsiders are being used to lure and threaten voters. In this case, how can free and impartial polls will be held."
Varanasi will go to polls on May 19.
