SP couldn't field Muslim candidate from Kannauj as it can't see beyond Yadav family: Mayawati
Kannauj (UP): BSP president Mayawati Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Samajwadi Party alleging that it did not field a Muslim candidate from Kannauj as it cannot see beyond SP president Akhilesh Yadav's family. The BSP chief asked the deprived sections, including the Dalits and Muslims, not to cast a single vote for Yadav's party in the Lok Sabha elections.
Addressing an election rally in Kannauj, the constituency from where the SP chief is seeking election, the BSP president recalled how Yadav, during his government, had changed the names of the districts named by her government after the great men born in the «Dalit, shoshit and pichhda varg» (Dalit, oppressed and backward class).
She said even though Muslims are in sizeable numbers in Kannauj, the SP does not give ticket to the community and alleged that the Yadavs from the SP family are fielded in elections as the party cannot see beyond their family.
«The Muslim population here is sizeable but the SP does not give ticket to Muslims. They do not have time apart from their family and Yadavs have been fielded by the SP family (unko to unkey parivar se hi fursat nahi milti hai ticket dene main, so SP Parivar se Yadav khadey hote),» she said.
