Freebies will not solve your problems: Mayawati tells people in Tamil Nadu
Chennai: Virtually attacking Dravidian parties in Tamil Nadu offering freebies in their poll manifesto, BSP supremo Mayawati on Sunday asked voters not to be lured by such inducements, saying they “will not solve your problems.”
“Regional
parties will lure you with freebies like cell phones. But they won’t
solve your problems,” she said at an election rally in Chennai.

While
the ruling AIADMK has promised cell phones free of cost and 100 units
of power to all if voted to power, DMK has assured free 3G/4G
connections.
Seeking votes for her party candidates in the Assembly polls to be held here on 16 May, Mayawati said that people require jobs and an end to poverty.
“These
regional parties give you freebies. Don’t vote for them. You have to
vote for the right party that will give you jobs and put an end to
poverty,” she said at a well-attended rally without naming any parties.
Such
a ‘right party’ is her BSP, she claimed while referring to the various
pro-people measures implemented by her party-led government in Uttar
Pradesh in its four terms.
She said her party has never released a manifesto as “we believe in doing and not saying.”
Despite
68 years since Independence, the economic condition of the weaker
sections like Muslims, SC/STs and OBCs did not show any progress, the
former Uttar Pradesh chief minister alleged and slammed different
central governments for “not doing anything for their upliftment”.
She expressed concern over crimes against Dalits, especially women.
“Not a day passes without crimes against Dalit women in the
country,” she said referring to the brutal rape and murder of a Dalit
law student in Kerala.
Even in Tamil Nadu, the voice of the weaker
sections is being “muzzled” and no action is being taken against
perpetrators of crimes against Dalits across the country, Mayawati
alleged.
“Let alone getting justice, even an FIR cannot be registered,” she claimed.
The
BSP chief alleged that most parties came to power with the “help of big
corporates” and therefore any economic policies are drafted keeping
them in mind and not the common people.
BJP and RSS are trying to put an end to reservation in education and job, by seeking ‘review’ of the same, she alleged.
Mayawati
specifically singled out the BJP-led Central government, alleging that
while the party was involving the corporates, it is however
non-committal in providing reservation in the private sector.
