‘Interests of SC/ ST safe only …’Says Mayawati

Mayawati, the leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, has slammed the BJP-led national government for failing to take tangible steps against the Supreme Court verdict that allows for sub-classification within reservation categories for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

In a number of tweets posted to social media platform X, Mayawati commented: “It is very sad and worrying that the Centre has not yet taken any concrete steps to restore the old system as per public expectations against the decision of the Hon’ble Supreme Court dated 1 August 2024 to implement the new rules of classification and creamy layer in SC/ST reservation” .

She alleged that the central government is not serious about making necessary amendments in the matter despite the Bharat Bandh on August 21 adding that the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) anti-SC/ST attitude remains intact with the same intensity as before.

“The central government is not serious despite the Bharat Bandh on 21st August, if the Centre is not serious about making necessary amendments in this matter, then it is a matter to think about. First the poor advocacy in the Hon’ble Court and now not bringing the Constitution Amendment Bill for it proves that the BJP’s anti-SC/ST reservation attitude remains intact with the same intensity as before” the BSP supremo said.

Mayawati also hit out at the INDIA bloc, adding that the interest of the marginalised classes is only safe in Ambedkarite BSP.

“The silence of Congress, SP and their Indi alliance in this matter is equally dangerous. This proves once again that both the parties and their alliances are birds of the same feather. The welfare and upliftment of SC/ST classes and the interest of these classes is safe only in the hands of Ambedkarite BSP,” she said

Earlier on Wednesday, Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati extended her support to the ‘Bharat Bandh’ called against the Supreme Court ruling that permits sub-classification within reservation categories for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
