New Delhi: Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati slammed Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi after the latter maintained silence over the deaths of 100 children in Kota district of Congress-ruled Rajasthan.
Mayawati posted on Twitter where she said the BSP chief said that the Rajasthan’s Congress government and its chief minister Ashok Gehlot continued to remain ‘insensitive’, ‘indifferent’ and ‘irresponsible’ to the deaths of children in Kota.
“This is highly condemnable,” she said.
1. कांग्रेस शासित राजस्थान के कोटा जिले में हाल ही में लगभग 100 मासूम बच्चों की मौत से माओं का गोद उजड़ना अति-दुःखद व दर्दनाक। तो भी वहाँ के सीएम श्री गहलोत स्वयं व उनकी सरकार इसके प्रति अभी भी उदासीन, असंवेदनशील व गैर-जिम्मेदार बने हुए हैं, जो अति-निन्दनीय।

“But even more condemnable is the fact that the Congress’ top leadership, especially, its woman general secretary, is silent on this issue. It would have been better if she (Priyanka Gandhi) she had met poor mothers who lost their babies in a similar manner she is meeting (family members of those killed in anti-CAA violence in UP),” Mayawati said.
She said (without naming Priyanka Gandhi) that if she did not go to Kota to meet victims’ families, then her meetings in UP would be treated merely as ‘political selfishness’ and pure ‘drama’.
2. किन्तु उससे भी ज्यादा अति दुःखद है कि कांग्रेस पार्टी के शीर्ष नेतृत्व व खासकर महिला महासचिव की इस मामले में चुप्पी साधे रखना। अच्छा होता कि वह यू.पी. की तरह उन गरीब पीड़ित माओं से भी जाकर मिलती, जिनकी गोद केवल उनकी पार्टी की सरकार की लापरवाही आदि के कारण उजड़ गई हैं।

“The public of UP needs to be alert,” she cautioned.
It is believed that any expansion of the Congress under Priyanka Gandhi may largely be at the cost of the BSP support base in U.P.
