In a series of tweets Mayawati said, “Incidents of atrocities on Dalits and tribals have increased tremendously under the Congress government in Rajasthan. The recent incidents, including rape of Dalit girls in Didwana and Dholpur, killing of a Dalit youth with a tractor in Alwar and the murder of a Dalit youth in Pali, Jodhpur has shaken the Dalit community in the state.”

“It is clear that the Congress government in Rajasthan has completely failed in protecting the Dalits and tribals. It would be appropriate to impose President’s rule in the state after dismissing the Congress government. It’s the demand of the BSP,” she said.
