Haryana: Addressing a gathering to ensure victory of INLD-BSP alliance in the state, BSP supremo Mayawati accused Congress and BJP of trying to end reservation and adopting anti-Dalit and anti-poor policies. Demanding caste-based census, she said political change is needed to continue reservation.
Speaking at an election rally jointly organised by INLD-BSP alliance at Prithla here this afternoon, Mayawati in her speech focused on the issue of reservation and exploitation of Scheduled Castes and backward communities. Attacking both the parties, she said they are worried about the future of reservation after the recent Supreme Court verdict. She claimed that Congress and India Block succeeded in getting votes of Dalits and poor on the pretext of their slogans or assurances during the Lok Sabha elections this year,
but the party has been completely exposed as it did not take any step to bring a bill in Parliament regarding the Supreme Court verdict given on August 1. She said both the BJP and the Congress were still playing with the sentiments of Dalits and the poor and falsely claiming that they would not let reservation be abolished.
Mayawati said if the INLD-BSP government comes to power in Haryana, it can keep the matter hanging till the bill is passed by Parliament. She criticised Rahul Gandhi’s alleged statement on reservation and said the BJP was also trying to mislead people. She said problems like corruption, inflation, unemployment and poverty are prevalent in the country.
She said Haryana is no different as capitalist forces have taken over the administration and governance and due to this the majority population is suffering from exploitation and all kinds of atrocities. She announced that Abhay Chautala would be the chief minister if the alliance comes to power and said that he would have two deputy chief ministers, one of whom would be from the SC category.
Earlier, INLD leader Abhay Singh Chautala in his address accused the Congress and BJP regimes of looting the state. He said the Congress turned Haryana from an agricultural to a CLU state while the BJP failed to fulfil its promises made in 2014 and 2019. Announcing an old age pension of Rs 7,500, he said two lakh government jobs, unemployment bonus of Rs 21,000, free electricity, water and gas as well as a special allowance of Rs 1,100 every month will be given to women. The alliance has fielded Surinder Vashisht from the Prithala assembly constituency.
