Lucknow, Feb 19 (UNI) Appealing the Modi-led central government to emulate the principles of Sant Ravidas, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) President Mayawati on Tuesday said that no one can become big with a small mind.
In a statement released here, the BSP chief said that Sant Ravidas, who lit the lamp of social transformation, spent his whole life in spreading the message of humanity and put up a persistent resistance against discrimination based on caste lines, adding that his humanitarian message was significant in the narrow and caste-driven atmosphere of today.
Ms Mayawati said that the people in power should not just practice the ritual of remembering him but should instead first rid their minds of narrow-mindedness, casteism and communalism because no one becomes big with a small mind.
