BSP is capable to provide security to minorities: Mayawati

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati attacked the Samajwadi Party for allowing a ‘jungle raaj’ in the state and reiterated that only her party could provide and security to the minorities.

“The state is in the grip of lawlessness where criminals and subversive forces are freely operating forcing the common man to live in fear,” asserted Mayawati while attacking Akhilesh Yadav for failing to ensure security.

“Over 500 riots and massacres in west UP still haunt the minority community more so as all riot accused of the Saffron brigade are freely roaming and again trying to disturb communal harmony to win elections,” Mayawati said.

Addressing two rallies in Farukkabad and Agra on Monday,  the BSP chief said that after the Yadav family feud, minorities have become disenchanted with the SP and feared that the SP-Congress alliance would indirectly help the BJP.

“Mulayam Singh humiliated his brother Shivpal due to his love for his son Akhilesh. Shivpal’s supporters will not sit quiet. The SP is divided into two parts. If minorities do not sit up now, they will have to face problems,” she said.

Mayawati also accused the SP government of indulging in politics of vendetta and said that minorities and Dalits were framed and sent to jail. She promised to review these cases and ensure justice to the innocent.

The BSP chief furtehr said that remaining cane dues of farmers will be cleared on a priority if her party was voted to power. Interestingly, she also did not fail to tell the people of the BJP’s move of reviewing reservation.

“The reservation facility to Dalits and backwards will come to an end in case the BJP comes to power in UP. If BSP comes to power, the facility will continue besides reservation will also be extended to the poor among upper castes,” she said.
