Pointing out that Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has been politicking using the name of Dr BR Ambedkar, BSP Chief Mayawati asked him to stop enacting dramas in the name of Ambedkar.
Noting that KCR had once said that he will change the Constitution framed by Dr Ambedkar, she gave a call to the people of Telangana to remove KCR. She said that all sections of people were facing problems due to KCR’s government.
Recalling that she gave three acres to Dalits when BSP was in power in Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati said that KCR copied the same scheme but did not distribute land to Dalits.
Addressing the BSP’s Telangana Bharosa Sabha on Sunday at Saroor Nagar, Mayawati said that Telangana BSP President RS Praveen Kumar will become the Chief Minister of Telangana if the BSP comes to power in the state.
She said that RS Praveen Kumar left the IPS and entered politics to serve people, she said and added that Telangana can develop only if such a person becomes the Chief Minister. She appealed to BSP activists to work hard to bring the BSP to power in Telangana.
Mayawati said that KCR feared the BSP strengthening in Telangana and that he named the Secretariat after Dr Ambedkar as he was afraid of the BSP.
She said that BSP had a hand in the creation of Telangana State and recalled that the BSP had supported the Telangana Bill in Parliament.
Mayawati said the BSP will provide UP-type rule in Telangana if it comes to power. She said that the BSP did not announce its manifesto before elections in UP like other parties and that it announced its manifesto only after coming to power in UP.
She said that Ambedkar gave special rights to OBCs and that the strength of the BSP is its activists.
She said that deceiving the unemployed during elections has become common and that governments have to give jobs to the unemployed and not unemployment allowance.
Mayawati said that Ambedkar’s dreams have not been fulfilled so far. She demanded that governments must provide rights to SCs and STs in the Constitution and that they formed a government in UP with the support of the weaker sections and the poor and provided reservations to SCs, STs and minorities.
She said that Kanshiram took the ideals of Ambedkar forward but no government at the Centre cared about the demand to give Bharat Ratna to Ambedkar till now. The Congress government did not give Bharat Ratna to Ambedkar and the BJP also did not give it.
She said that she doesn’t want any position or power but wants Bharat Ratna to be granted to Ambedkar and the Mandal Commission recommendations implemented.
She said that reservations did not reach the SCs and STs even though Ambedkar introduced them. She said that Prime Minister Nehru did not care about Ambedkar or enact laws to help SCs, STs and OBCs. She said that she has set apart her life for the sake of weaker sections and the poor.
BSP leader S. Praveen Kumar said that the BRS and the BJP are joint thieves. KCR did not come out from Pragathi Bhavan even though farmers suffered a lot due to unseasonal rains and called upon BCs, SCs, STs and minorities to unite and defeat the BJP and the BRS.
He asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi who said that he is a B, to reveal what he has done for BCs.
He said that the BSP will set up Rythu Sankshema Nidhi after establishing Bahujana Rajyam in Telangana.
He said that the KCR family has handed over the ORR which is worth Rs 2700 billion to a private company for a mere Rs 7,380 crore. He said the BRS government is engaging in corruption and stealing public funds.
