Madurai : BSP leader and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati has
alleged that both Congress and BJP were trying to do away with
reservation system introduced by B R Ambedkar for the uplilftment of
SCs and STs.
Accusing the two parties of failure to improve the socio-economic
conditions of Dalits and other oppressed classes, she claimed BSP was
the only party that followed the footsteps of Ambedkar and fulfilled
his dreams of social transformation in general and Dalit emancipation
in particular.
Addressing an election meeting in support of her party candidates in
the April 13 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls, she said her government had
done a lot for economically poor among the upper castes in Uttar
Pradesh besides helping the oppressed classes.
In Uttar Pradesh, there was reservation for poor people of the upper
caste also. Her party was dependent on not only Dalits, but poor and
middle class people of all the castes, Mayawati said.
She asked the people of Tamil Nadu to teach a lesson to the Congress,
DMK and AIADMK and make BSP a force in the state.
