BSP chief Mayawati on Tuesday tried to put BJP president Amit Shah on the dock over his claim that 250 terrorists were killed in the Indian airstrike in Pakistan, asking him why Prime Minister Narendra Modi was 'silent' over it.
'BJP chief Amit Shah is arduously making claim that the IAF strike killed over 250 terrorists in Pakistan, but why is his guru, PM Modi who is always keen to take credit for everything, silent over it? Terrorists killed is good news, but what is the secret behind deep silence of the PM?' Mayawati posted on Twitter.
At an event in Ahmedabad on Sunday, Shah said the Indian Air Force (IAF) strikes targeting a supposed Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camp in Pakistan's Balakot last Tuesday 'killed more than 250 terrorists'.
Mayawati also hit out at the economic policies of the BJP-led government, saying that benefits of economic growth not reaching most of the poor, labourers and farmers of the 130-crore population was a 'matter of serious concern'.
'...what will be the Modi Govt reply & jumlebazi (rhetoric) over slowdown in farm and manufacturing pushing GDP growth to a low of 6.6%...?' she said.
