For SP, it is not difficult but impossible to defeat BJP: Mayawati
Ahead of the Uttar Pradesh urban local body polls, Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the Samajwadi Party and asked her party workers to remain cautious about the propaganda that its support among Dalits was weakening.
Having been deceived repeatedly, people have now realised that it is “not difficult but impossible” for the SP to defeat the BJP, she charged. “To defeat the BJP, BSP is necessary,” she asserted.
At a special meeting of party office-bearers and district unit chiefs, Mayawati accused rival political parties of running a propaganda to weaken the BSP.
It was decided in the meeting that the BSP will go it alone in the urban local body polls, likely to be held soon.
In a statement issued here, she said, “Rival political parties hatch conspiracies to weaken the BSP in the state, misguide the Dalits and also try to isolate them from the party’s movement. And through the media, news about cracks in the Dalit vote banks are publicised. There is not an iota of truth in these.”
The Dalit community should remain cautious about such propaganda and tricks and also make others aware about these, she said.
Sharpening her attack on the Samajwadi Party, the BSP chief said, “SP’s dirty politics of deceit and manipulation is not going to work. Dalits and Most Backward Classes are already highly cautious about the SP. And, now the Muslim community is also not going to fall prey to their (SP) trickery and bluff. After repeatedly being deceived, they have understood that defeating the BJP using the SP is not difficult but impossible. Hence, to defeat the BJP, BSP is necessary.”
