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.

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.
