It may be recalled that on February 19, while addressing a rally in Fatehpur, PM modi had said, “Gaon me kabristan banta hai to shamshaan bhi banna chahiye. Ramzan me bijli aati hai to Diwali me bhi aani chahiye. Bhed bhav nahi hona chahiye (If, land is given for cemetery in a village, it should be given for cremation ground also. If electricity is supplied during Ramazan, it should be supplied during Diwali also. There should not be discrimination)”.

Mayawati maintained that the BSP respected each and every religion during its regime adding, "Whether it was providing electricity during festivals or any law and order issues, our party did brilliantly."
