Aligarh: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati addressed a public meeting at Numaish ground in Aligarh on Sunday. She alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) has a casteist mindset towards the great men among Dalits and Most Backward Classes thus the party did not honor the architect of the Constitution of India, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, with the title of Bharat Ratna.
Mayawati said that the BJP government implements the casteist, capitalist and narrow agenda of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). They create an atmosphere of hatred in the name of religion.
BSP supremo adds that Dalits have not got the benefit of government schemes under the BJP government and big works are being done only through the private sector. The upper caste and the enlightened class have also felt neglected.
Targeting BJP government she adds that poverty, unemployment and inflation have increased a lot due to wrong economic policies of the central government. The rising prices of diesel, petrol, LPG have increased the difficulties of the public.
Attacking Congress, the former chief minister said that when the party is in power, it did not take care of the development of Dalits.
She also slammed Samajwadi Party (SP) and said, "Most of the work in the SP government has been limited to a particular area and one community. The step-motherly attitude towards the Dalits, the most backward has been its hallmark."
