Mulayam will bring back ‘gunda raj’: Mayawati

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati Saturday said here that “gunda and mafia raj” would return to the state if the Mulayam Singh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party came to power in the assembly polls.

Addressing a rally at the CL College ground, Mayawati said the central government was corrupt.

She said she had already removed corrupt ministers from her party and other tainted people would be weeded out soon.

Elections in Uttar Pradesh’s 403 constituencies are being held in seven phases. In the fourth phase Sunday, an estimated 57 percent voting was recorded in 56 constituencies. The last phase of the polls is scheduled for March 3 and the results would be out March 6.
