Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati attacked Samajwadi Party government accusing them of playing caste and religion politics and fooling the public in the name of launching welfare schemes. Taking a jibe at ‘Gaon ki ore’ (towards villages) project of  the state government, BSP supremo said that it is nothing but hollow claims. She also flayed state government’s rural development programme tabled in the Assembly on Monday.
Releasing an official communique’ here on Tuesday afternoon, Mayawati said that Saifai, Etawah, Mainpuri, Kannauj and Badaun; the strongholds of Samjawadi government are the only villages for the Party in the above scheme. She asked Akhilesh Yadav led government to stay away from such practices, the release said. While flaying the party for ignoring the interests of minorities, Mayawati stated that the Chief Minister has tried to please his uncles Azam Khan and Shivpal Yadav through the supplementary budget. She claimed that for Akhilesh had just shown his concern for  Azam’s native town Rampur and his Mohamed Ali Jauhar University. Akhilesh was silent on the issue of giving recognition to various other minority institution in the State which he pointed that he just wanted to please Azam Khan.
Attacking Akhilesh government of playing appeasement card, she said that the “narrow and casteist” mentality of the ruling Samajwadi government led to bad state of affairs here in the State. ``Though they claim to be socialists, their work is against society and socialism. Their thinking is narrow and casteist..it is because SP is running the government with this mindset that the state is facing many raging issues today”, the release said.
Reacting on the Rs 14,856.14 crore supplementary grants tabled in the Vidhan Sabha on Monday by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, the BSP supremo said that the ruling government has never managed to spend the funds of the general budget properly, thus the benefits won’t reach the people, it said.
