Recalling Guest House Incident, Mayawati Alleges SP Assaulted Her, While Cong Remains Mute

Lucknow: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) national president Mayawati has attacked Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress, remembering the guest house scandal. She said that after withdrawing support on June 2, 1995, SP had carried out a fatal attack on her. “During that period, the Congress government at the Center also did not fulfill its responsibilities on time.

Why does Congress never speak on this?” she quipped. Mayawati said that at that time, the entire opposition, including the BJP, had taken the responsibility of saving her from the criminal elements of the SP as a matter of humanity. “People should remain alert about this,” she opined.

The BSP chief said that at that time the intentions of the Congress government at the Center had also been spoiled, which wanted to run its government behind the scenes by imposing President’s rule in UP after any untoward incident. Their conspiracy was foiled by BSP. Then Kanshi Ram, who was in a serious condition due to his illness, had to leave the hospital at night, and rebuked the then, Home Minister.

The opposition also surrounded the Parliament, only then the Congress government came into action. Apart from this, BSP has been putting all its pressure for caste census for years, first on Congress at the Center and now also on BJP. The Grand Old Party has been in favour of it for years. But after the caste census, will Congress be able to provide due rights to SC, ST and OBC classes? Those who are still silent regarding classification and creamy layer in SC-ST reservation, please answer.
There is no question of retiring from politics: Mayawati said that no question of retiring from active politics arises. “Ever since the party has put forward Akash Anand as the successor of BSP in my absence or due to ill health, the casteist media has been propagating such fake news so that people should be cautious.

Although earlier also there were rumours of making me the President, whereas Kanshi Ram had rejected a similar offer saying that becoming the President would mean retiring from active politics which was not acceptable to him in the interest of the party, so then how her disciple can accept this offer. How possible to accept? Like Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and Kanshi Ram, my resolve to remain dedicated to the Self-Respect Movement of BSP till the last breath life is firm in my resolve to foil the conspiracies of the opponents to weaken the Ambedkarite caravan of the Bahujans,” she concluded
