Lucknow . Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the opposition parties, saying that all of them are “bitches in the same bag in the matter of disrespecting Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar”. Mayawati said in a series of posts on the social media platform Feelings have been deeply hurt. In such a situation, they must take back those words and repent.
This statement of the former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh comes amid the ongoing tussle between the ruling BJP and the opposition parties over the remarks made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the Rajya Sabha on Ambedkar earlier this week. He said that it is impossible to deny that the conduct, character and face of Congress, BJP and their allies have always been narrow and casteist towards the interests and welfare of Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar and his crores of Dalit-backward, exploited-oppressed followers. And this is the reason why the social, economic and political conditions of these communities have continuously worsened.
Mayawati also wrote that these parties are all equal in not respecting Babasaheb Dr. Ambedkar, committing injustice and atrocities against his followers and snatching away their constitutional and legal rights instead of giving them. He said, “The ongoing dispute between the government and the opposition regarding this is only politics of selfishness in votes.” Terming waving the Constitution at various places and wearing blue color etc. as cheap politics of show off, the BSP chief said that all this Before doing this, both the ruling and the opposition will have to become clean by erasing the soot of narrow-mindedness, casteism and hatred etc. from their hearts, only then the welfare of these classes and the country will be possible.
