Lucknow: Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Thursday took a jibe at the election of Mallikarjun Kharge, a Dalit, as the Congress president and said the Congress love for Dalits is a deception.
Accusing Congress of neglecting Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution and Dalit society, Mayawati said the Congress has a history of making Dalits as ‘scapegoats’ during its bad times.
She added: “During the long run of its good days, the Congress remembered mostly non-Dalits and now when it is out of power, it is keeping Dalits… Is this not deceit and pseudo politics?”
