Biswajeet, PNS

Playing the reservation card Bahujan Samaj Party president and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati said some political parties were trying to change reservation policy so as to deny its benefits to SC and ST.

"Some opposition parties are conspiring to alter the reservation system and deny its benefits to the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes," Mayawati said while addressing an election meeting in favour of party candidate Jagdish Rana in Saharanpur.

The BSP supremo said that he weak policies of the central government are responsible for rising corruption and poverty.

In another meeting in Muzaffarnagar Mayawati said that she did not visit the riot hit areas because of the ruling Samajwadi Party in UP which is  conspiring against her. 

Even, the High Court had held the state government responsbile for the recent Muzaffarnagar riots, she said.

The BSP supremo claimed that not even a single riot had occurred in her regime in the state. She accused the Congress and the BJP for favouring the industrialists and working in a biased manner.

Saharanpur and Muzaffarnagar lok Sabha seats are going to polls in the first phase on April 10.
