The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister was in Pune to campaign for BSP candidates ahead of the November 20 Maharashtra assembly elections.
Addressing a rally, she urged people to reject the BJP and Congress and asserted that her party would give justice to every community if voted to power.
“Caste should not be a factor while giving tickets to candidates in elections,” she said, accusing the ruling dispensation of exploiting caste and religion for political gains.
She also claimed that Mahayuti would also play the reservation card for its benefits “The ruling party will use ‘saam’ (persuasion), ‘daam’ (reward) and ‘dand’ (punishment) to win the elections in the state. Multiple members from some political parties are deliberately asked to contest the polls to split votes and help the ruling party,” she claimed.

EC Directs J’khand BJP To Remove ‘Objectionable’ Posts From Social Media
The Election Commission responded to complaints from the Indian National Congress (INC) and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) about a misleading and malicious video posted by BJP Jharkhand on social media and instructed the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Jharkhand to order the BJP to remove the video from its social media platforms.
The Election Commission also issued a notice to the saffron party seeking an explanation for the alleged violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) in the post.
The Electoral Officer has been directed to take immediate action on the matter and in coordination with the designated state authority under Section 79(3)(b) of the IT Act, ensure the swift removal of the objectionable posts from social media platforms.
The video depicted the house of a JMM supporter, featuring a banner of the JMM Party. It also displayed a poster resembling CM Hemant Soren, with the caption, “Pure Jharkhand ka kaya palat kar denge.” The video showed hundreds of people from a specific community entering the house uninvited, seemingly with the intent to forcefully occupy it.
