BSP supremo Mayawati has slammed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the migrant crisis at the national capital. She said that only folding hands before the public and pleading with them not to leave is a drama that has been seen earlier as well.

Mayawati said that the same drama is being seen in Maharashtra, Haryana and Punjab as well. She said that the events were extremely disheartening.

The BSP supremo said that if the governments of these states had inspired faith in them and worked to meet their necessities, then they would not have been forced to flee. She also said that the state governments were now engaging in drama to cover up their incompetence.

Delhi had witnessed a massive migrant crisis with the onset of lockdown in the state the previous month. Following the announcement of lockdown, a huge gathering of migrant workers were spotted at the Anand Vihar Bus Terminal. Such a crisis was witnessed in 2020 as well.
