Lucknow, Nov 1 (UNI) Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Monday termed the verbal spat between SP and BJP over Jinnah issue as an effort by both the parties to communalise the coming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.



In a couple of tweets, she said, "The statement made by the SP chief in Hardoi yesterday about Jinnah and the BJP's reaction is part of the internal collusion of these two parties and their well thought-out strategy, so that the atmosphere in the UP Assembly elections is held up on the Hindu-Muslim issue.



"The politics of SP and BJP have been complementary to each other. Since the thinking of these two parties is casteist and communal, their existence has been based on each other. That is why when SP is in power, BJP is strong whereas when BSP is in power, BJP is weak," the BSP chief added.
