Mayawati, the leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party, charged on Tuesday that the Congress and the BJP are trying to amend the quota laws for Dalits in states under their control, saying that doing so will jeopardize the rights and unity of marginalized groups. On social media, the four-time former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh voiced his disapproval of the “new system” of sub-reservation for Dalits that the Congress and BJP governments in Telangana and Karnataka, respectively, had imposed in Haryana.
“This hurried implementation of sub-reservation is part of a continued conspiracy to render reservation ineffective and inactive,” the BSP chief alleged She claimed that both the BJP and the Congress are alike and dubbed them as “casteist” “The active engagement of casteist parties, which oppose reservation and threaten the unity of millions of oppressed and neglected Dalits, proves that the BJP and Congress are two sides of the same coin. Their actions pose a greater threat to society and the Constitution…,” Mayawati posted on X in Hindi.
Mayawati warned about the “divisive tactics” of the BJP, Congress and the Samajwadi Party, saying, “We must exercise extreme caution against their divisive intentions and strategies, ensuring that the legacy of Baba Saheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar remains strong and not weakened.”
The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance and the opposition INDIA alliance, which consisted of the Congress and the Samajwadi Party, are not affiliated with the Bahujan Samaj Party.
