India News: A fuming Mayawati accused Samajwadi Party government in UP of political vendetta after hoardings installed by her party BSP on B R Ambedkar's birth anniversary were allegedly removed and said SP "goons" will be "taught a lesson" when she returns to power.

Reacting sharply to Mayawati's remarks, the Samajwadi Party said the BSP supremo should understand that she would never come to power in the state and should learn to live without it.

Addressing a function to mark Ambedkar's 122th birth anniversary in Lucknow, Mayawati said during her government land was leased to marginal farmers, but under the present regime it was being grabbed by SP "goons and party workers".
