The UP Chief Minister slammed the Congress's latest tactic of sprawling solo posters of Rahul Gandhi being used across the state.
Mayawati called it a mere histrionics and said that Gandhi should concentrate on Centre's actions.
Taking a no holds barred swipe at the Congress General Secretary, Mayawati said he should stop his antics in the state.
Mayawati said the Congress General Secretary should also help on the issue of inflation and rising petrol prices which were posing immense hardships to the people in UP.
"As an MP from the state he should exert pressure on the union government for releasing funds for the welfare works and projects for Uttar Pradesh," she said.
Speaking at a function to dedicate UP Viklang Uddhar Shakuntala Misra University on the outskirts of the state capital in Lucknow, she also questioned Rahul's "silence" on "attacks and harassment" on the people from Uttar Pradesh when they go to Congress ruled states like Maharashtra and Delhi in search of livelihood.
She also said that Gandhi does not get angry at his party ruled government in Haryana when Dalits are "uprooted" there.
Taking potshots at the Congress for stating that there was 'jungle raj' in UP, she referred to various incidents taking place in the earlier Congress governments of the state saying at that time it was regarded the rule of law.
On charges of corruption against her government, the chief minister said that Congress has had a "long history of corruption" and it is unbecoming of them to comment on our government.
Addressing a press conference, Mayawati said, "About the UP government, Rahul is directing his anger towards the state government. He should rather aim it towards Congress-led government at the Centre. Rahul should make efforts to bring down the price of petrol and other commodities which are affecting the common man. It surprises me that Rahul Gandhi is not very keen on solving such issues."
