Rajnath Singh has returned to Uttar Pradesh politics after his stint as the national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party,and the first thing on his mind is to mobilise the members of backward communities and Dalits all over the state behind the party.

After attending a programme for Kori community in Ghaziabad recently,Singh was in Barabanki on Wednesday where he addressed members of Pasi community.

Speaking about their welfare,Singh said Chief Minister Mayawati has not taken any concrete steps for the welfare of Dalits.

“When I was the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh,I had introduced an ordinance for the most backward castes,to ensure their share of social justice,” Singh told The Indian Express.

“But today look what has happened to them. No one is thinking about their welfare anymore. Whenever I am finding time,I am open to all invitations to work for the welfare of most backward communities,” he added.

Singh now spends more time at his Lucknow residence on Kalidas Marg and says that he has started receiving invitations to attend several sammelans. His next stop will be a Dalit welfare programme at Fatehpur on April 23.
