Lucknow, 20 December: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati has targeted the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Congress for violence during protests in the capital Lucknow and Sambhal. Maya said here on Friday that her party does not believe in violence.
The BSP supremo said that she and her party are also opposed to the Citizenship Amendment Act(CAA). But, the way the BSP people protest is different. Mayawati said, “We do not believe in committing violence causing damage to public property like other parties during protests.”
