Asserting that the UP elections are important for the country at the international level, she said, "BJP's defeat in UP elections might disappoint the world leaders."
Taking a jibe at Manmohan Singh, she claimed that Congress top leadership forced the ex-PM to work as a robot.
Uma Bharti took a dig at the Supreme Court's order to register an FIR against Uttar Pradesh transport minister Gayatri Prasad Prajapati, asking Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's wife Dimple Yadav, "Which punishment she feels would be appropriate for the Samajwadi Party leader, who is accused of sexually harassing a woman."
