Bahujan Samaj Party national president Mayawati targeted the rival parties in a public meeting held in Madhoganj in Hardoi on Wednesday. The former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh said that the rival parties want to come to power by adopting the policy of saam, daam, dand, bhed. Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party have given false promises in their manifestos. Do not fall into their trap, she said, adding that the guarantee of good days has not been fulfilled even in 10 years. The BSP does not make manifestos, but shows development work on the ground, Matawati said, adding that if BSP forms the government, then it will show concrete work like in UP. She also said that atrocities were being committed on the Muslim community in the name of Hindutva. In a public meeting held in the playground of Narpati Singh Inter College in Madhoganj, Mayawati said that the BJP had captured power at the Centre and in most of the states, but due to its casteist and wrong policies, it was not going to come back to power at the Centre easily. If there is a fair election and there is no manipulation in the electronic voting machines, then their guarantees or election promises are not going to work. The BJP has not fulfilled even one-fourth of the promises it made. The BJP has only done the work of making the capitalists and rich people richer, she said. Like Congress, BJP has also not been able to develop Dalits, backward classes, Muslims and other minority community people in the whole country due to casteist and communal thinking. The quota of Dalits, tribals and other backward classes has not been filled in the whole country yet. Reservation in promotion of Scheduled Castes people in government jobs has also been abolished. Most of the work has been given in the private sector and reservation is not applicable in the private sector, she said. Mayawati said that due to BJP governments, the condition of Muslims and minority community people was very bad. They are also being oppressed in the name of Hindutva, she added. Former minister Abdul Mannan, BSP district president Rameshwar Kushwaha, district in-charge Randhir Bahadur, Neelu Satyarthi, Mukesh Verma, Ramnath Rawat and others were present in the public meeting.
