SP Government is anti Dalit : Mayawati

Lucknow: Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati on Tuesday slammed Samajwadi Party for its party’s dynasty politics. She also called SP government in Uttar Pradesh as anti-Dalit.
“Had there not been a provision for reservation, the destiny of Mulayam Singh Yadav and his kin would have been nothing more than to serve like herdsmen,” said Mayawati.
The rally is being held after seven months of BSP’s ouster from the corridors of power in the state.

Ten trains were booked by the party to ferry supporters and were welcomed at the Charbagh railway station. Special welcome desks have been set up at the railway station to guide the incoming party workers. Supporters of Mayawati have come in from  Maharashtra, Odisha, Haryana, New Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab.

Besides, all party legislators have been asked to ensure maximum participation from their constituencies. The state unit is supervising all preparations. While many had thought that the rally might pale in contrast to her earlier ones when Mayawati was in power, the multitude that has so far turned up in the state capital does not indicate any erosion of her support base.

Inspector General of Police (Law and order) B.P. Singh told that adequate security arrangements have been made to ensure that the rally passes peacefully.

Traffic has also been diverted at many places and many schools have declared a holiday.

The Akhilesh Yadav government cancelled the public holiday Oct 9 which the earlier Mayawati government had announced for the death anniversary of BSP founder Kanshiram.

Mayawati is likely to announce her future relation with the Congress-led UPA government at the rally.
