MEERUT: Targeting the Narendra Modi Government at the Centre, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati today asserted that the current scenario in the nation was worse than even Emergency.

Addressing a public gathering here after her resignation from the Rajya Sabha, she alleged that the Central Bureau of Investigation, Enforcement Directorate and other agencies were targeting leaders of opposition parties on the orders from the Centre.

Ms Mayawati said that some political parties tried to derive political mileage from the Saharanpur riots and alleged that it was the Bharatiya Janata Party which had masterminded the violence. ”In Rajya Sabha, I was not allowed to speak about Dalit atrocities in Saharanpur, so I resigned,” she asserted.        Ms Mayawati alleged that the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs)were tampered by the BJP in the recent state assembly elections and asserted this reason behind her party’s defeat in polls.  ”Our party took the EVM issue to the apex court”, she affirmed.  (AGENCIES)
