BSP chief Mayawati is not pleased with Congress after her party’s six MLAs in Rajasthan left BSP and defected to Congress. These MLAs had given a letter late last night to speaker CP Joshi, requesting him to merge their legislative party with the Congress.
As per reports, the MLAs who have decided to change their loyalties and merge with Congress are Rajendra Singh Gudha, Jogendra Singh Awana, Wajib Ali, Lakhan Singh Meena, Sandeep Yadav and Deepchand. These MLAs have decided to merge their legislative party in the assembly with the Congress. A congress leader has stated that all the six MLAs were in contact with Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot and have now decided to come into the Congress fold.
Mayawati, who after the 2018 assembly elections in Rajasthan, had declared that her party will stay out of government but will give outside support, has taken to Twitter to unleash her acrimony at the Congress party.
The BSP supremo tweeted: “By once again breaking BSP MLAs, the Congress has reflected that they are non-trustworthy and fraudsters. They have betrayed BSP at the time when we were providing unconditional support to the Congress in Rajasthan”.
1. राजस्थान में कांग्रेस पार्टी की सरकार ने एक बार फिर बीएसपी के विधायकों को तोड़कर गैर-भरोसेमन्द व धोखेबाज़ पार्टी होने का प्रमाण दिया है। यह बीएसपी मूवमेन्ट के साथ विश्वासघात है जो दोबारा तब किया गया है जब बीएसपी वहाँ कांग्रेस सरकार को बाहर से बिना शर्त समर्थन दे रही थी।

It is notable here that all the six BSP MLAs had also defected to Congress during Ashok Gehlot’s earlier tenure in 2009.
“Instead of fighting with its opponents or bitter rivals, Congress has a habit of betraying its supporters”, Mayawati tweeted furthering that “Congress is anti-SC, ST and OBC and has never been sincere and honest about the rights of these classes.”
2. कांग्रेस अपनी कटु विरोधी पार्टी/संगठनों से लड़ने के बजाए हर जगह उन पार्टियों को ही सदा आघात पहुंचाने का काम करती है जो उन्हें सहयोग/समर्थन देते हैं। कांग्रेस इस प्रकार एससी, एसटी,ओबीसी विरोधी पार्टी है तथा इन वर्गों के आरक्षण के हक के प्रति कभी गंभीर व ईमानदार नहीं रही है।

“The Congress has always been against BR Ambedkar and his ideology. That is why Ambedkar had to resign as the country’s first law minister. Congress never honoured him with a Bharat Ratna, which is sad and shameful,” lambasted Mayawati.
3.कांग्रेस हमेशा ही बाबा साहेब डा भीमराव अम्बेडकर व उनकी मानवतावादी विचारधारा की विरोधी रही। इसी कारण डा अम्बेडकर को देश के पहले कानून मंत्री पद से इस्तीफा देना पड़ा था। कांग्रेस ने उन्हें न तो कभी लोकसभा में चुनकर जाने दिया और न ही भारतरत्न से सम्मानित किया। अति-दुःखद व शर्मनाक।

It has become difficult for the BSP supremo to reconcile to the fact that she has been backstabbed by the party to whom she provided her unconditional support. Notably, Mayawati had supported Congress in Madhya Pradesh too.
However, in the recent past, the BSP supremo has been quite vocal about her repugnance towards the grand old party. She had recently slammed the Congress party and former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru blaming them to be the root cause of Jammu and Kashmir problems.
Earlier too, Mayawati had, slammed the Congress and opposition parties over their attempted visit to Kashmir. Criticising their intention behind the visit Mayawati stated that the opposition leaders should rather have waited and given the government some time to normalise the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
Notably, during the Karnataka crisis, the BSP supremo had snubbed the Congress-JDS coalition and asked lone BSP MLA to abstain from the trust vote.
