Lucknow, January 29: Uttar Pradesh BJP chief Mahendra Nath Pandey made a derogatory remark while attacking the Samajwadi Party-Bahujan Samaj Party (SP-BSP) alliance on Monday. In a meeting with party cadres and supporters in Chandauli, Pandey issued a defamatory remark against BSP chief Mayawati, as he recalled the infamous guest house incident of 1995.

Quoting a crass conversation from social media, Pandey said a youth posted how SP president Akhilesh Yadav was gifting a shawl to his BSP counterpart on her 63rd birthday, celebrated earlier in the month. Reacting to the post, added Pandey, another youth commented it is the same shawl which was "taken down" by Akhilesh's father and SP founder Mulayam Singh Yadav at the guest house. 'Mayawati Worse Than Eunuch', Says BJP MLA Sadhana Singh; BSP Hits Back Calling Her 'Mentally ill'.

The 1995 guest house incident, which involved an alleged attack on Mayawati and her supporters by "MLAs and strongman" of Samajwadi Party, is often being referred to by the BJP to describe the newly formed SP-BSP pre-poll alliance as an "unholy" coalition.

Akhilesh's estranged uncle and Mulayam's brother Shivpal Singh Yadav, the founder of Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party-Lohia, said the SP chief has "insulted" him and his father by aligning with the "same woman" who levelled sexual harassment charges against them.
