**Lucknow, April 20, 2025** – Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati launched a sharp attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP), accusing it of betraying Dalits and Bahujans for political gain. In a series of posts on X, Mayawati alleged that the SP, along with the Congress and BJP, lacks the will to address the poverty, exploitation, and injustices faced by Dalits.
Mayawati cited the 1995 Lucknow guest house incident, where the SP allegedly attacked BSP leadership, as evidence of the party’s betrayal. She also criticized the SP’s actions regarding reservation in promotions and the renaming of public institutions, labeling them as “extreme casteist acts.”
The BSP leader contrasted the SP’s alleged actions with the BSP’s efforts to create an egalitarian society. She claimed that the SP is actively undermining this progress to serve its own political interests and warned voters to be wary of the SP’s promises. Mayawati asserted that neither the SP, Congress, nor BJP can be considered true allies of Dalits and Bahujans. She reiterated the BSP’s commitment to empowering the Bahujan Samaj. The accusations come amid ongoing controversy surrounding an SP Dalit MP’s remarks.
