CHENNAI: BSP national president Mayawati has appealed to the people of
Tamil Nadu to reject Dravidian parties and put the BSP in power in the
State. Claiming that all the other parties in India were intent on
doing away with the reservation that Ambedkar had given the Dalits,
she said that the BSP was the only party that would be able to stop
them from doing so.
Mayawati was sure to have left a few sore hearts with her speech in
Chennai on Sunday evening, as she failed to mention the name of even a
single BSP leader from Tamil Nadu throughout the speech.
While she mentioned some of the national level office bearers of her
party, the name of BSP state secretary Armstrong was conspicuous only
by its absence from her speech.
She claimed the BSP was the only party that could establish a rule
blind to caste divisions.
She also promised the people of TN that she would commission statues
of Dalit icons, such as Ambedkar, Jothibha Phule and Narayan Guru, if
her party were to form the government in Tamil Nadu after the coming
Assembly elections.
"If awareness and revolution have to come to the people of Tamil Nadu,
they have to vote the BSP into power in the State," said Mayawati. The
Congress, BJP and all other parties were trembling as her party had
chosen to contest elections in Tamil Nadu, she added. "That the BSP
would capture power in the State was only a matter of time", she said.
Mayawati also said she would bring to Tamil Nadu the political
practice of convincing the upper castes to give reservations and
concessions to people from poor backgrounds, irrespective of their
caste, like she had done in UP.
