Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati has accused the Central government of influencing the proceedings of the House and serving its political interests by engaging the opposition in non-essential issues in Parliament.
She said that this would further increase autocracy in the country everywhere.
Addressing a review meeting of the BSP organisations in the states of Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana here on Thursday afternoon, Mayawati, referring to the uproar in the current session of Parliament, said, "Even during Parliament session, there is no proper discussion on the burning issues of the country. Due to this, the Central government is being saved from covering up its responsibility.”
The BSP chief alleged, "It has become a new trend of the governments to engage the opposition in new undesirable controversial issues day by day and to satisfy their political interests by influencing the proceedings of the House, which is grossly unfair and anti-people tendency and this leads to the interest of the country being badly affected.”
"If the governments in Parliament and the states are not serious, responsible and accountable towards the House, then it will increase autocracy in the country even more," Mayawati asserted.
"Today, the bitter reality in the country is that no such government is seen which is in a position to work with full seriousness and honesty vis-Ã -vis inflation, poverty, unemployment besides public interest and public welfare. That is why no state is emerging as a new beautiful picture of New India," the former chief minister of UP added.
She said that government animosity had also become involved in a big way and in such a situation, where would the atmosphere of violence and tension-free system necessary for the development of the country arise?
Mayawati said that even in the Congress-ruled Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana state of South India, as per the public expectation, the need of employment is not being met properly to overcome the problem of poverty and unemployment etc.
The BSP president said that after Maharashtra, the discussions of a conspiracy to topple the tribal society-led coalition government of Jharkhand once again are in full swing and this was grossly unfair.
She said that earlier politics was unstable and infamous due to the dominance of criminals, but now money power had also become more dominant in it. “In such a situation, it is becoming very difficult, if not impossible, for the governments of small parties to survive,” she added.
