A day after ED detected cash deposits totalling over Rs 104 crore in an account belonging to her party, BSP supremo Mayawati charged the Centre with misusing official machinery and trying to tarnish the party's image.
Terming the issue as an effort to tarnish BSP's image ahead of UP Assembly elections just few months away, Mayawati said the "anti-Dalit" BJP managed a section of the media.
The ED on Monday detected cash deposits totalling over Rs.104 crore in an account belonging to the BSP and Rs 1.43 crore in an account belonging to Mayawati's brother Anand in a branch of United Bank of India in Delhi during a routine survey and enquiry operation to check suspicious cash deposits in banks post-demonetisation.
