Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati, on Thursday, launched a scathing attack on Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, saying that he was pretending to be an Ambedkarite.
“This love of theirs is just a gimmick. His Dalit love is just like `muh mein Ram, bagal may chhuri’,” the BSP supremo Mayawati tweeted on Thursday.
The Samajwadi Party's attempt to project itself as Ambedkarite was the same pretense, drama and deceit as other parties often do for the sake of selfishness of votes. Their love for Dalit and Backward Classes was just on their lips and not in the heart, she added.
Mayawati said that in reality there was no party except BSP or government which could uplift the interests and welfare of crores of poor, downtrodden, backward, neglected people of the country by fulfilling the constitutional and humanistic ideals of Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar. “The entire history of SP has been anti-Dr. Ambedkar and anti-Bahujan,” she added.
Mayawati said that during the SP regime, the followers of Babasaheb Dr BR Ambedkar were neglected and atrocities were committed on them. She said the names of new districts, universities, grand parks, established by the BSP government in the memory of great men were also changed due to casteist hatred. “Is this Dr Ambedkar's love for SP?” she asked.
