Baffled opposition's phone-tapping claims anti-Dalit: BSP

Lucknow : The ruling BSP on Sunday termed allegations of Opposition
parties over phone tapping and spying as baseless and unfortunate.
"Such an irresponsible statement by Opposition leaders holding
important posts is unfortunate. Levelling baseless and imaginary
allegations against the state government is an indicator of their
anti-dalit mentality," BSP state-president Swami Prasad Maurya said.
Samajwadi Party and BJP had alleged that phone calls of their leaders
were being tapped by the Mayawati government. "Phones and
conversations of SP leaders are taped by the state government...
During our state-wide agitation phones of all active workers were
tapped by district police chiefs and magistrates," senior SP leader
Shivpal Yadav had claimed on Thursday. "We condemn such an act of the
government and warn it not to involve in such acts and stop
surveillance," he had said.
Earlier, the BJP also levelled similar allegation against the state
government. "Phones and conversation of BJP leaders are tapped by the
state government, which is afraid of the party," BJP spokesman Hardwar
Dubey had alleged. He had claimed that sleuths of local intelligence
unit (LIU) were found in press conference of party president Surya
Pratap Shahi in Moradabad and Meerut recently.
Maurya said that it was clear that the Opposition had failed to find
shortcomings in the policies and programmes of the state government
since they were levelling false allegations. "SP and other opposition
parties have got baffled sensing their defeat in the forthcoming Uttar
Pradesh assembly elections," he added.
Maurya also criticised Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Rita Bahuguna
Joshi for accusing the state government of indulging in corruption.
"Before levelling such allegations Joshi should introspect. She is an
office-bearer of the Congress which leads the UPA government that is
deep into corruption," the BSP state president alleged. "Congress-led
UPA government at the Centre is meting out step-motherly treatment to
the state government...," Maurya alleged.
A huge amount of Centrally sponsored scheme had been not provided to
Uttar Pradesh for the last thee years and repeated requests of the
state were ignored, he claimed.
The BSP state president said that in the current fiscal the state was
due to get around Rs 33,000 crore for various schemes, but a large
portion of it has not been released by the Centre. "Even if the due
amount is released it will take time to spend it and if the same is
not utilised in the current fiscal it will be adjusted by the Centre,"
he added.
