Reacting to the Allahabad High Courts interim order banning caste-based rallies in Uttar Pradesh,BSP president Mayawati on Sunday said that Indian society is centred on the caste system which has been the main cause of its unequal structure,and her party was trying to unite various castes through these rallies to achieve its objective of creating an egalitarian society.
Talking to reporters at the BSP state headquarters,the former chief minister said her party would,however,change the names of these rallies and programmes to sarva samaj sammelans (all-caste conventions) and make some other changes,keeping in mind the interim order of the court and some other peoples objections. However,the party will continue this campaign until the unequal system based on caste gets changed,she said.
On Modi
Referring to Gujarat CM Narendra Modis puppy remark,she said her party condemns the statement. She said Modi,who claims to be a Hindu nationalist,should study the Constitution which is based on the principles of secularism and not Hindutva. She warned her partys Lok Sabha member Vijay Bahadur Singh for praising Modi. This is my last warning to him. Otherwise,he will be suspended and could also be expelled, she said.
On cong-bjp politics
She said the Congress and BJP were indulging in dirty politics by raising the issue of Ramjanmabhoomi and Babri Masjid in Faizabad. She said this attempt by these parties to woo Hindu and Muslim votes was not a good sign for the secular country. She reiterated her demand of imposing Presidents rule in UP for deteriorated law and order in the state under Samajwadi Party rule.
