Maya’s concern for Dalits a sham: BJP

“Mayawati should tell people how many Dalits were given employment by the BSP government. If babies and mothers are dying because of lack of proper medical care,specially among the Dalit communities,how can the government claim that it has worked for Dalit welfare¿,” he said.

Prasad added,“We will tell the people the BSP government is totally anti-Dalit and it should be voted out of power.” He alleged rampant corruption and breakdown of law and order have hit the state hard.

“Even a month after CMO B P Singh was killed,no arrest has been made. Riots in Meerut were also due to lack of proper police action,” he said.

“BSP and SP are two pillars of the corrupt UPA government at the Centre,” he alleged. Prasad said the BJP would continue to expose the scams. He said BJP’s “Mahasangram” rallies held to create awareness among people on these issues were getting an overwhelming response.

Referring to Mayawati’s demand for Dalit representation in Lokpal Bill drafting committee,he said the BSP should first answer some questions related to the governance in the state. “We have no objection to the demand for Dalit representation in Lokpal bill panel,but we would like the Centre to take a decision on this,” said Prasad.
