Claim: Recent video where Mayawati said, "Do not vote for radicals, rather transfer your vote to BJP".
Fact-check: 2006 video about Mayawati's support to BJP to defeat a 'Fundamentalist' Muslim leader is shared as recent - FACTLY
Verdict: the video is taken from a press conference by mayawati after the local body elections in up in 2006. the video is missing context. to defeat a 'fundamentalist' muslim leader who was previously in her party and fielded his wife in meerut, mayawati said that, as it turned into a hindu-muslim tussle, she asked her voters to transfer their votes to bjp. after the 2006 local body elections in uttar pradesh, the bahujan samaj party leader mayawati held a press conference and spoke about the bsp's tactical support to bjp and congress, against the samajwadi party. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
