GG News Bureau
Hyderabad, 8th May. Mayawati, the leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party, has launched a scathing attack on Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, alleging that the former is doing politics in the name of Babasaheb Ambedkar and that he remained silent when a politician who killed State’s IAS officer G Krishnaiah was freed by the Bihar government.
Notably, Anand Mohan Singh, a gangster-turned-politician, was released from Saharsa prison on April 27 this year after the Nitish Kumar government changed the Bihar Prison Manual 2012, permitting the release of 27 inmates, including the gangster-turned-politician.
“When the person who killed the Telangana IAS officer in Bihar is released by the Bihar government, the Telangana CM is not saying a word,” she said while addressing Telangana Bharosa Sabha at Saroor Nagar Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday.
Mayawati, who is aiming to expand her political presence in Telangana’s southern state, has declared BSP’s RS Praveen Kumar, an ex-IPS officer, as the party’s Chief Ministerial candidate. She also told leaders and activists to get ready for the next elections.
“Telangana will develop if such a person (Praveen Kumar) becomes the Chief Minister,” Mayawati said.
Aiming at the state government, she alleged that KCR wants to change the Constitution.
“KCR government is doing politics in the name of Ambedkar. He wants to change the constitution,” she alleged.
Taking note of KCR’s Dalit Empowerment Scheme (Telangana Dalit Bandhu), wherein he promised the distribution of three acres of land each to landless Dalit, Mayawati said that the scheme was her brainchild, while she was CM of Uttar Pradesh and KCR “copied” the scheme.
“While I was in power in Uttar Pradesh, the BSP government distributed three acres of land to the Dalits there. KCR copied that scheme,” she said, adding that KCR did not implement it on the ground.
“Babasaheb Ambedkar’s goals are still not fulfilled in the country,” she added.
Mayawati further said that BSP also had a role in the formation of a separate Telangana. She further said that the BSP had supported the Telangana Bill in the Parliament.
