NAGPUR: Newly appointed national office-bearers of BSP exhorted the party workers to work hard to ensure party supremo Mayawati became the prime minister after 2019 general elections. The Vidarbha unit of the party had organized their felicitation at Deshpande Hall on Thursday afternoon.


Jaiprakash Singh, national vice-president and national coordinator of BSP, told the gathering Congress and BJP were two sides of the same coin and SCs should maintain equidistance from both. Slamming Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said the BJP leader had ushered in a tyrannical rule. “The BJP government is on its way out and it will be replaced by a government representing SCs, STs, OBCs and minorities, people who respect Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar and the Indian Constitution,” he said.

Singh expressed regret that people in Maharashtra, who cherished the ideals of Ambedkar, did not vote for BSP but for other political parties.
