Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati has launched a scathing attack on Congress and other caste-based political parties, accusing them of exploiting Dalits only when they face political challenges. Speaking at a recent public event, Mayawati claimed that these parties remember the Dalit community only during their "bad days" or during elections to secure votes, but fail to provide consistent support for their rights and welfare when in power.
She pointed out the pattern of insincere outreach, where Dalits are courted with promises during difficult times but are quickly forgotten once political stability is regained. The BSP leader stressed the need for continuous and genuine commitment towards improving the social, economic, and political status of Dalits, beyond mere rhetoric.
Mayawati, who has long been a champion for Dalit rights, reiterated her party's dedication to the upliftment of marginalized communities through policies that ensure equal opportunities in education, employment, and social justice. She urged voters not to fall for the false promises of these parties and to recognize the importance of consistent leadership that prioritizes their long-term development.
Her comments come in the wake of political maneuvering ahead of upcoming elections, where Dalit voters are seen as a key demographic. Mayawati's remarks highlight her strategy to reaffirm BSP's position as the true representative of Dalit interests in contrast to the sporadic attention given by other political parties.
