At least 500 to 1000 workers from each district started arriving in the night itself.
BJP has already sacked its vice president Singh from all party posts after his derogatory remarks against Mayawati which sparked massive uproar and pushed the saffron party in a tight corner. Singh had said that “Mayawati is breaking the dream of Kanshi Ram into pieces”.
“Mayawati gives tickets for Rs one crore and if there is someone who can give Rs 2 crore, then she sells it for Rs 2 crore within an hour. If someone is ready to give Rs 3 crore by the evening, she gives the ticket to him. She is even worse than a sex worker,” Singh had said.
