Lucknow, Oct. 10 -- Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee President Ajay Rai today launched a scathing attack on former Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati, alleging she has consistently cheated Dalits.
Rai claimed that the massive crowd at Mayawati's recent Lucknow rally was "sponsored and funded" by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to divide Dalit votes ahead of the Bihar elections.
"Mayawati only pretends to be a false leader of Dalits and has cheated them. She is anti-Dalit and anti-Muslim," he alleged.
The state president asserted that the Congress has always protected the Constitution, noting that leader Rahul Gandhi has consistently raised his voice on the issue from Parliament to the streets.
