Lucknow, Dec 6 (UNI) Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati on Friday accused the opposition parties of indulging in vote bank politics and said that in most cases, the Centre and various state governments remember Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar just for votes.
Ms Mayawati paid her tributes to the Dalit icon on his death anniversary while saying that in the name of Baba Saheb, the opposition parties indulge in vote-bank politics.
The BSP honcho said the actual social, political and economic uplift of the followers of Baba Saheb, especially Dalits, tribal people, backward classes, minority communities had not taken place and they were underprivileged and neglected till now. This is highly unfortunate, she added.
