Atrocities on Dalits Rising Under BSP Regime: Cong
Lucknow | Jan 25, 2011
Accusing the ruling BSP government in Uttar Pradesh of cheating
Dalits, the Congress today alleged that their maximum exploitation and
harassment was done during the party regime.
"Number of cases of harassment of Dalits and women and atrocities on
them are increasing in UP," senior Congress leader and chairman of
National Commission for Schedule Caste P L Punia told a Dalit
convention here.
Referring to the Banda rape case where a Dalit girl was raped
allegedly by a BSP MLA and some other incidents, Punia alleged that
instead of providing security to Dalits, the BSP government was
shielding the culprits.
"The Commission will not keep mum in such cases and ensure justice to
the people by taking suo motto cognisance," he said.
He alleged that the BSP government was committing laxity in
implementing Central schemes launched for the upliftment of Dalits.
"Dalits are feeling cheated by the BSP government and this is evident
from their increasing participation in Dalit conventions being
organised by the Congress," he said.
"Dalits are being exploited most in the BSP regime which claims to be
their leader," UPCC president Rita Bahuguna Joshi alleged while
inaugurating the convention.
She also alleged that BSP MLAs and ministers were involved in
corruption and the government machinery was functioning in an
arbitrary manner on their directives, while all the sections of
society were facing hardship.
