Firstpost2:09 PM Whatsapp Facebook Twitter Narendra Modi interview latest updates Narendra Modi slams Mayawati over appeal for Muslim community’s votes Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said he was unperturbed by Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati’s appeal to Muslims to vote for the alliance of her party and the Samajwadi Party to prevent the minority votes from getting split. At a rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Deoband on Sunday, Mayawati had said: “I would like to tell Muslim voters to not waste their vote on the Congress. We are fighting the BJP, and we will win.” On these remarks, Modi said it was “unsurprising” that Mayawati was making such statements “as she is facing defeat”. She is part of a sinking ship and is looking to Muslims for support,” the prime minister said.
