BSP president Mayawati on Monday hailed the Supreme Court judgment scrapping the electoral bond scheme as “important” and said continuous efforts were necessary to protect the Constitution and democracy.
In a series of posts on X, the BSP president also said that her party had stayed away from using the money power of big capitalists and rich people and, when in power, worked for the welfare of the poor and backward classes.
In contrast, her rival parties mostly worked for their selfish interests, she alleged.
“The latest decision of the Supreme Court in connection with the process of diverting the country’s politics and ‘janmat’ away from public interest and public opinion through the money power arising from secret electoral bonds is important, but continuous efforts are necessary to protect the Constitution and democracy,” she said.
