Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on Monday attacked both Bharatiya Janata Party and Samajwadi Party on the law and order and claimed that her party was going to form a new Government after the Assembly elections.

She also announced that like UP, BSP would go it alone and fight on all seats in neighboring Uttarakhand.

She made the above claims while speaking to reporters on the 65th death anniversary of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, the architect of India’s Constitution.

Asserting that Dr Ambedkar fought for the uplift of Dalits and minorities, Mayawati targeted the Yogi Adityanath government, saying that no day goes by when atrocities are not committed against individuals from the lower sections of the state.

"No day goes by when atrocities are not committed against those from the weaker sections in the state. We don't see many media reports on such incidents. The state government knows how to manage the media," Mayawati said.

The BSP leader further claimed that due to the apathy of the casteist regimes at the Central and state levels, individuals from the backward classes were unable to get the benefits from the Constitution Dr Ambedkar drafted.

"Dr BR Ambedkar struggled for the uplift of Dalits, tribals, backward classes, minorities and the neglected. Today, they are unable to avail the benefits given to them in the Constitution drafted by him due to the apathy of casteist governments at Centre and states," she stated.

The BSP supremo also targeted the previous SP government and alleged that 'goondagardi' (hooliganism) and 'mafiagardi' (rule of the mafias) were at peak in Uttar Pradesh when the SP was in power.
