Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati attacked the Narendra Modi-led government on Sunday, saying it is spreading hatred and communalism in Uttar Pradesh and has failed to keep its promises for the state.
Mayawati was addressing a Bahujan Samaj Party rally at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar ground in Lucknow, in which lakhs of people are said to be participating.
Attacking the central government, the BSP chief said the Bharatiya Janata Party government is spreading communalism, and the cases of crimes against Dalits and minorities have increased.
She said: “Dalits are being targeted in various parts of the country in the name of cow protection. Minorities and Dalits are being harassed, as BJP wants to convert India into a Hindu nation.”
“Harassment of Dalits and minorities would stop in the state once a BSP government comes to power in Uttar Pradesh,” Mayawati promised the one of the large party gatherings.
She hoped to form a majority government in the state and said better law and order, especially safety of women, would be the main focus of her government.
Uttar Pradesh is scheduled go for polls early 2017.
