Bahujan leader takes a dig at BSP
?WHAT DOES the BSP stand for now? No, not the Bahujan Samaj Party, but the Brahmin Samaj Party,? said Bahujan Swayamsewak Sangathan national president Tej Singh, here on Monday.
“WHAT DOES the BSP stand for now? No, not the Bahujan Samaj Party, but the Brahmin Samaj Party,” said Bahujan Swayamsewak Sangathan national president Tej Singh, here on Monday.
Talking to mediapersons, Singh blamed politicians for misleading Bahujan Samaj for their vested interests.
He said atrocities on members of the community had increased and they seemed to have lost the resilience to fight back. He said politicians were only using Dalits as a vote bank and asked the weaker section of society to teach a lesson to those responsible for their backwardness. Criticising the Samajwadi Party, he said though it always came to power on the strength of Muslim support, it ignored the interests of the community once it assumed office.
He said the large turnout at a BSS rally in at Parliament House on January 27 had proved that Dalits were not satisfied with the performance of BSP.
He said the Ambedkar Samaj Party would contest the assembly elections and had intensified its campaign to expand its support base, particularly among Dalits and Muslims.
Yesterday, Singh said some so called leaders of the Bahujan Samaj were not interested in the social, educational and political welfare of their community for vested interests. Special guest on the occasion RB Kaul claimed that members of the Bahujan Samaj felt dejected by the performance of the party.
Making a sharp attack on BSP leader Mayawati, BSS leaders Lilawati Devi and Dinesh Prasad alleged that the State Government had distributed scholarships mainly among scheduled caste students.
