Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Friday made a blistering attack on the BJP government led by Chief Minister Yogi Aditynath in Uttar Pradesh over the declining law and order situation in the state while referring to the sensational gang-rape in the Hathras district recently.
Addressing her party workers on the death anniversary of Bahujan Samaj Party founder Kanshi Ram, Mayawati said, “Oppression of Dalits and those from the most backward sections is rising under the BJP rule.”
In her video address to the BSP workers, Mayawati said that the atrocities on Dalits and poor have risen in recent times as she referred to a number of rape cases reported from across the state recently.
Training her guns at the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh and Narendra Modi government at the Center, the BSP chief accused them of working against her party and the Dalits. She also blamed Congress governments for the plight of Dalits and the poor.
The iconic Dalit leader alleged that wherever there is a BJP or Congress government, the Dalits and backward people are being tortured and harassed.
“Hathras gang-rape case is proof of the pathetic and deplorable condition of the Dalits in UP. Under the Yogi government, the Dalits are being oppressed, exploited at every level. The people of BJP and Congress are united when it comes to exploiting the Dalits.”
