New Delhi: In a thinly veiled threat to Mayawati regarding the UP government's attempts to prevent Sonia Gandhi from addressing a rally in her Rae Bareli constituency, Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari said: "Leave alone the Congress president, even if she [Mayawati] threatens or harms a single Congress worker we will make it difficult for her to carry out her political activity in any part of the country."
The Congress also accused Mayawati of stopping the pension of the former CBI director Vijay Shankar Tewari. It was during his tenure as the CBI chief that the agency began corruption cases against her.
The former CBI Director belongs to the UP cadre and under government rules, a no-objection certificate is needed from the parent state before the pension is made available to a retired officer.
"She should mend her ways and put an end to her dictatorship. We are prepared to fill the jails of UP but we will not back down," said Manish Tewari.
