Mayawati hits out at Samajwadi Party for being anti-Dalit
Lucknow/UNI: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Monday hit out at the Samajwadi Party blaming it for always insulting the Dalit community and their icons, as well as for being instrumental in changing the name of districts that were coined during her regime after personalities from the community.
"Since the beginning, SP has been contemptuous of the great saints, gurus and great men born among the Dalits and backward communities, whose special example is the new Ambedkar Nagar district created out of Faizabad district.
"SP also opposed making Bhadohi a new district on the name of Sant Ravidas Nagar and even its name was changed by the SP government," Mayawati said in a series of tweets.
"Similarly, the names of many institutions and schemes etc. of UP were changed mostly due to casteist hatred. In such a situation, how can SP (chief Akhilesh Yadav) expect respect and security for him and his followers? No matter how much drama this party does now for the sake of their vote?" she said.
