“… and the party also supported the inauguration of the new building of the Parliament on May 28. Looking at it in this context, it is welcomed,” said Mayawati.

The BSP supremo aimed the Opposition parties who announced to skip the inauguration ceremony. “Boycott is unfair for not inaugurating the new Parliament by President Draupadi Murmu. The government has made it, so it has the right to inaugurate it,” wrote Mayawati in a series of posts on Twitter.

“It is also unfair to link this with tribal women’s respect. He should have thought of this while fielding a candidate against him instead of electing him unopposed,” read the post.
