TIL Desk/National/Agra-Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati, launching her party’s election campaign from Agra lashed out at the Narendra Modi-led BJP government for “atrocities” on Dalits and failing to fulfill promises made before the Lok Sabha elections. The Uttar Pradesh assembly elections are expected to be held some time in February 2017.
Addressing a mammoth rally at the Kothi Meena Bazar ground, Mayawati targeted Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat for asking Hindus to produce more than two children. The Centre can not take care of two children, who will provide for more, she wondered.
Mayawati said the Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government was soft towards capitalists. It had failed to bring back black money from foreign countries as promised. The BJP-led government, she said, was deliberately expanding the private sector to hit the Dalits who were being denied benefits of reservation. She was particularly harsh on the issue of cow slaughter and so-called “love jehad”.
