"With its faulty policies and acts, the Modi government's one year is disappointing as it has shown only bad days to people. The hope shown by the government to people is waning. BJP and its supporters are now raking up Ram temple issue though the matter is pending before court," she told reporters here.
"The present government is also like previous UPA government on issues of national and public interest. People are realising that both Congress and BJP are two sides of the same coin and both are running on directions of capitalists. The acts and deeds of both parties are different," she noted.
Stating that BJP MPs were so "arrogant" due to the party's majority, Mayawati said they even did not want to do "self-introspection" and change themselves.
"Due to this, the common man and even their supporters want to get rid of them. Even media surveys are showing bubble of the 'Modi Magic' has burst," she said.
Terming as "eyewash" Centre schemes like Jan Dhan, Jivan Jyoti and "much publicised" insurance scheme, Mayawati said poor people are being shown "dreams" with these schemes on which Centre was "not spending a single penny".
