New Delhi, April 17
Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati has launched a sharp attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP), accusing it of exploiting Dalits for political gains.
In a series of posts on X on Thursday, the BSP leader said the SP, like other parties, has been trying to incite tension and violence by using Dalits as political tools.
She posted on X in Hindi, "It is known that, like other parties, SP too is creating an environment of tension and violence by putting forward people of the party, especially Dalits, and its controversial statements, allegations and counter-allegations and programmes etc., seem to be their politics of extreme narrow selfishness."
She cautioned Dalits, OBCs and Muslims against SP's political tactics, saying the party can go to any extent to get Dalit votes.
"Because SP can go to any extent to get Dalit votes. Therefore, along with Dalits, Other Backward Classes and the Muslim community should not get influenced by their aggressive instigations and not fall prey to the political tactics of this party," she wrote on X.
The BSP chief said the SP should stop commenting on the history of others. "Also, instead of commenting on the history of others, it would be better if the opportunistic Dalits associated with such parties tell about the goodness and struggles of the saints, gurus and great men of their society, due to which these people have become worthy of something."
