Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav on Tuesday attacked PM Narendra Modi and BSP chief Mayawati for sabotaging the efforts of the State Government for inclusion of 17 most backward castes in the list of Scheduled Castes.
He hit out at Mayawati, alleging that the ‘Dalit ki beti’ was in fact serving elites and capitalists.
Addressing a convention of 17 Other Backward Castes (OBC) organised by State Mining Minister Gayatri Prasad Prajapati at party headquarters here, the SP leader said that Mayawati had failed to serve the interests of the Dalits in the State.
“We had given facilities of Dalits to 17 OBCs in the State, while Mayawati scrapped the provisions after becoming the Chief Minster. When we raised the matter in Delhi with the then Manmohan Singh Government, the Centre also supported the BSP,” he said.
