A BJP leader has moved the Election Commission against BSP chief Mayawati accusing her of seeking votes in the name of caste and demanded that her party be debarred from contesting elections.

BJP's UP executive member Neeraj Shankar Saxena moved a petition against Mayawati on Saturday demanding that her party be debarred from contesting polls. Saxena also demanded that an FIR be filed against her for "flouting" Supreme Court directives.

Mayawati, during her press conference on 24 December and 3 January, presented caste-wise details of ticket distribution, clearly stating how many tickets have been given to Muslims, backwards, SCs and others.
