The former Bahujan Samaj Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya lashed out at the Bahujan Samaj party for the protest demonstration in lucknow over the derogatory remarks against her by the former BJP leader Daya Shankar Singh.
Calling the protest demonstration by the BSP leaders here on July 21 as `bluff and bluster’ Swami Prasad Maurya said `` it’s a matter of shame that Mayawati is so perturbed by a remark against her but she never reacted as chief minister when thousands of dalits faced atrocities and brutalized by the feudal forces’’. Maurya was the leader of s opposition in UP assembly who had quit the BSP in June last.
Asking Mayawati to do some introspection Maurya said ``what kind of politics Mayawati intends to pursue where under her direction, senior BSP leaders vied with each other in hurling filthy abuses on the mother, wife and minor daughter of the former BJP leader’’.
The former BSP leader said this particular incident has exposed the political limits of Mayawati that she was in no position to the fight the feudal class and was forced to cancel the state wide protest demonstration on July 25 against the derogatory remark by the former BJP leader. Endorsing the critics of Mayawati, former BSP leader said "Mayawati was no longer a `dalit ke beti, she is daulat ke beti'."
Maurya after resigning from the BSP has floated a new political outfit, the `loktantrik Bahujan Manch’. He held a meeting of the office bearers of the Manch here on Sunday. Maurya said the new outfit floated by him is getting huge support from all the districts of the state. He said the leaders and cadres from all the political parties particularly from the BSP are joining the Manch.
Swami Prasad Maurya who has already organized one meeting of the new political outfit in lucknow has already announced to hold a big rally of his supporters here on September 22.
He said on Sunday he held the meeting of the activists of the loktantrik Manch from 9 divisions of the state which included West UP and Bundelkhand region. He said over 1,000 persons participated in the meeting here on Sunday.
Maurya said from July 31 he will start his tour of east UP district. Maurya said the loktantrik Manch would cease to exist on September 22 as it has been created for the specific purpose of organizing a rally. He said the launch of a new political party is likely to be announced on September 22. He however refused to reveal the name of the proposed party.
