Dont touch Dalit memorials,parks,Maya warns SP regime

The BSP government had not even touched the employees deployed for supervising such parks,she said,while addressing a small gathering of followers of Babasaheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar at Samajik Praivartan Prateek Sthal on the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti.

Reacting to Mayawatis remarks,Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav,who is in New Delhi,said the statues installed by the previous regime will be protected but there was nothing wrong in utilising the land in the parks and memorials to build hospitals.

The memorials will not be tampered with. But when there are thousand acres of land available within the parks and memorials built by Mayawati,this can be used for building hospitals for children and women. There is nothing wrong in that, he said.

In Lucknow,Samajwadi Party spokesperson Rajendra Choudhari said Mayawatis statement showed the level of frustration she faces after her partys exit from power.

Choudhari also said that Mayawati should not be troubled by the works which are in public interest.
