Mayawati has lost her credibility among Dalits: Digvijay Singh

Amid the ongoing strategies adopted by the leaders of various
political outfits to establish a firm reputation in poll-bound Uttar
Pradesh, Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh on Monday charged
state chief minister and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati of
failing to protect the interest of the Dalits.
Digvijay Singh said Mayawati has lost her credibility among the Dalits
because she has not done anything other than looting the people over
the past five years.
"Some one, who opposes Mayawati is labeled as 'Casteist', anti-Dalit
and others who give her funds and help in splurging money are
considered to be a supporter of the Dalits. This is her definition of
a supporter. Mayawati has lost her credibility among the Dalits
because she has not done anything other than looting the people over
the past five years," said Singh.
"Not one Dalit has benefited in her reign. Moreover in her native
village of Badalpur on one side, she is constructing her farmhouse in
an area of 100 acre with walls as high as 25 feet and Dalits in the
same area are still living in huts," he added.
Mayawati, who has expressed her displeasure over the Election
Commission's order to cover statues of the Bahujan Samaj Party's poll
symbol 'elephant' and those of her own, had earlier on Sunday said
that her party would never forgive the Congress Party and Samajwadi
Party for the aggressive campaign and support lent to cloaking of
statues.
Polls in Uttar Pradesh are to be conducted in seven phases between
February 8 and March 3. The counting of votes would take place on
March 6.
Uttar Pradesh will elect a new 403-member state assembly in March, and
the poll results are expected to broadly indicate trends for 2014
general elections.
