Calling upon the Central and state governmenꦫts to be introspective about their actions and ponder wheth🔯er they are in accordance to the spirit of the Constitution, BSP president Mayawati have announced that her party shall refrain from taking part in the Constitution day programs.
The benefits given to SC/STs by the Constitution have not reached these sections, she lamented. She further told the reporters, "On Constitution Day, Central and state governments need to seriously review whether they are following the Indian Constitution proꦓperly and with full honesty. The BSP feels that it is not being done and the governments need to think over it.And so, the BSP has decided not to take part in programm♊es organised by the Central and state governments on Constitution Day."
"SC, ST and OBC reservation backlog is lying in go✅vernment jobs for which they are fighting on the roads. No effort has been made till now to provide reservation in priva🍌te jobs. Centre and state governments are not ready to frame any law for the same," she said.
The former Uttar Pradesh chief minist🧸er said people of different communities and religions live in the country and there are laws as per the Constitution for the progress, safety and security of their lives and property which are not being followed properly by the Central and state governme💛nts. All the governments need to pay attention to it."
The BSP chief said SCs and STs should be weary of parties like the SP which, she recalled had torn a bill pertaining to reservation of SC a𒀰nd STs in Parliament. Parties like these can never develop these sections of society.
She also noted that on Constitution Day, the farmers' agitation against farm laws has also completed a year. "Though the three farm laws have been taken back, which𓄧 is a right step, it should have been taken much earlier. The𓆏 BSP wants that other important demands of the farmers should be accepted by the Centre", Mayawati said.
The BSP president also announced appointment of Rasra MLA Uma Shankar Singh as the leader of the legislature party after Shah Alam, who was oc✱cupying the post, resigned as MLA and from the party.
