The attendees were of various age group were in the rally. However, women were also in good numbers. In her speech, the former chief minister of UP, vehemently criticized Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and labeled it as an anti-Dalit and anti-reservation party.

Hinting at the possible tampering of EVMs during the elections, she claimed that BJP will lose, if ballot papers are used for the 2019 elections. She said that people are losing trust in EVM and the Election Commission of India (ECI) should look into it very seriously. India is the world’s largest democracy and it is in favour of the country that people do not lose faith in the EMV.

Meanwhile, 2018 Rajasthan assembly polls will also be crucial for BSP.
