BSP chief Mayawati slams ‘wealthiest party’ BJP on black money

“Businessmen take the help of Indian banks to flourish their business and then flee after conning them to deposit their money outside. People in the country are wondering why is the Narendra Modi government so helpless when it comes to stopping them?,” Asian News International quoted Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati as saying, on Sunday, July 1.

“People of the nation want to know why is the government, especially the Prime Minister, silent on black money? Is it because most of those people who deposit money abroad are those close to BJP, due to whom it has emerged as the wealthiest party of India in such short span of time?,” asked Mayawati.

“People are recalling promises made by the Prime Minister, especially the one to bring back black money. That's why BJP has chucked development issue and come back to its original agenda of hatred, communal disharmony and divisive politics. That's why they pulled out of the alliance [with J&K People’s Democratic Party] in J&K,” alleged the prominent Opposition leader.
