BHANDER: Renewing attack on BSP supremo and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati, Lok Janshakti Party chief Ramvilas Paswan has said that her formula of social engineering "is just an old method of deceiving people."
"Playing politics on caste and religion is not a new phenomenon. This is an old method of cheating innocent people. And no one can be benefited from it," Paswan said here.
"The method has been carried out by the Congress since years," he added. Paswan, a Union Minister, termed Mayawati's policies merely a "political stunt" and said she was not serious about spreading the ideals of Dalit thinkers like Ambedkar, Jyotibarao Phule and E V Ramaswamy Naikar known as 'Periyar'.
Taking a dig at Mayawati for installing her own statues at various places, Paswan said "she has been trying to glorify herself by installing her own statues."
He alleged that the Mayawati-led BSP has put the ideology of Ambedkar "on the back burner". "We will not let the ideology of Ambedkar die. We will continue to spread the ideologies of Ambedkar, Jyotibarao Phule and Periyar among the masses," he asserted addressing a public meeting yesterday.
Paswan was here to inaugurate a two-day health camp organised by Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) at Vijaya Raje Scindia College.
