Lucknow: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Monday reiterated her party’s decision to contest all forthcoming polls, both in Uttar Pradesh and other states, alone.
She also broke her silence on the controversial sale of 21 sugar mills run by a state corporation during 2007-2012, when she headed a majority government in UP.
“There was nothing wrong with the sale of these mills.
I didn’t head that department.
A minister of mine did.
But even that minister wasn’t responsible for the decision was taken by the cabinet.
And as you know, a decision taken by the cabinet is a collective one,” she said after paying tribute to her mentor and BSP founder Kanshiram on his 87th birth anniversary on Monday.
The Yogi Adityanath government had in 2018 recommended a CBI probe into the sale of those sugar mills.
