Mulayam criticises Mayawati for threatening ECI

Luckow: Samajwadi party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav Saturday took strong exception to the threat given by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati to the Election Commission of India(ECI) over removal of a senior officer.

''Such act by a political leader was condemnable and threatening a constitutional body should be taken seriously by the ECI'', he added.

Talking to reporters here Mr Yadav said the Bahujan Samaj Party(BSP) leader blaming ECI for the removal of an officer prove that there was something 'fishy'.

''Even after removal of the said officer by the ECI, the UP government has appointed him in the same department with giving more powers'', he said.

Asking for stringent action against the UP government, the SP supremo said the bureaucracy was 'demoralised' while only a handful of officials were having the cream posts.

Mr Yadav alleged the BSP was trying to rake up caste and the BJP leaders the religion in the campaigning for the first phase of polling in UP.

''The efforts of BSP and BJP were to divide the voters on the line of caste and religion which should be prevented by the ECI'', he said
