Dalit welfare was never Mayawati's priority: Punia

Abhinav Pandey

Lucknow, Nov 4 Once considered to be a close aide of Chief Minister
Mayawati, chairman of National Commission for SC and ST P L Punia
today alleged that welfare of dalits was never a priority for the BSP
chief.

"Mayawati is a political person and not a social one.

Dalits were neither her priority in the past nor even today," Punia,
who is also MP from Barabanki district, told PTI.

"I was her principal secretary thrice in her earlier regimes but even
at that time Mayawati did not even once ask me to chalk out a scheme
for the welfare of dalits," he claimed.

He alleged that she has even done away with the system of 'janata
darshan' (a weekly programme where CM met the people) through which
she could get first hand account of their issues.
