Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati spoke to mediapersons in UP’s Lucknow regarding Election Commission of India banning her from election campaigning. She told media about the reasons behind banning her. She said, “EC said that on April 7, 2019 in Saharanpur, we broke the code of conduct in our speech. And, they banned us from election campaigning for 48 hours starting from 6 am on Tuesday. They also said that they watched our speech and I gave an inflammatory speech that also encourages the mutual differences. They also said that we should not have delivered such speeches where votes become one-sided.”
