Mayawati demands Prez Rule in Rajasthan

PNS

Blaming the Congress-led government in Rajasthan for growing atrocities against Dalits and Adivasis, Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati demanded immediate imposition of president's rule in the state.

The BSP chief also cited various cases of atrocities on Dalits and Adivasis in Rajasthan to buttress her point.

"Incidents of atrocities on Dalits and Adivasis have increased tremendously under the Congress government of Rajasthan. Recently, the rape of Dalit girls in Didwana and Dholpur, the killing of a Dalit youth using a tractor in Alwar and the murder of a Dalit youth in Pali, Jodhpur has shaken Dalit samaj," Mayawati said in a tweet in Hindi on Wednesday.

The BSP chief further added that the Congress government had completely failed in Rajasthan, particularly in protecting Dalits and Adivasis.

"Therefore, it would be appropriate to dismiss this government and impose President's rule there. This is the demand of the BSP," Mayawati tweeted.
