I don't see any upliftment in the socio-economic status of the people belonging to backward caste , even after making such huge promises to them in states like UP which proves that this is mere vote bank politics played by them and nothing else , after winning they focus their complete energy on amasing public money by all means.
@Prafulla Kamble : So, according to you the diamond jewellery and cash
garlands she has also belong to the party which has been serving the
bachward community so long. No wonder, so many people in India live in
fools paradise and believe in politicians.
Dear Prafulla, all politicians are corrupt and no one is working for the
benefit of any community. Its only them and their families they are
looting money for. Grow up, get some education and move on.
@Prafulla Kamble JI, Good morning! The year is 2012, not 1947. The people of India are not fools; if you are sending money and sincerely believe the hocus-pocus that you have written, that distinction is solely yours and I couldn't agree more that you deserve it every bit.
i send her money from maharashtra , every year right from 1984 after formation of party , and there are lots of cader who sends her party funds . party decided all the money given to BSP is being saved under her security , it is very well known that lots of politicans in india are very much wealthier than even BILL GATES , but refuse to open it up . All this party money will be deposited in bank account of party president , after bahjani her successer got this public money , we don't have business tycoons to support us financially . and i would like here to mention that BSP gives this slogan , JATI TODO SAMAJ JODO . i am belonging to SC cateogry and i support even to peril of my life , she is the only leader who upheld depressed and oppressed section of India. visit dr. babasahab ambedkar gaon which is build by her.
what she claimed during the election rallies of 2007, and what she has done is correct.. she said, she will uplift the dalits., and she has done.. (but unfortunately not to the people but to herself and to her assets).. public were fool, is fool and will be fool... including me..
Madam is from a deprived section and got elected as CM on the promise of uplifting the down trodden,always strived for the well being of the statues of her's and her party simbol by keeping them through out the state spending a lot of money,at last defeated,but with huge assets and bank balance. Still she belong to deprived section that made her eligible for all the benefits under quota system.India is my country,all Indians are my bothers and sisters?
This is only the beginning. She was the same leader who shed crocodile tears for non-SC /non-minority and poor people of UP. Is there any Indian politician who can boldly proclaim he is for a non religion based party and will offer benefits for the economically backward people irrespective of caste and creed ?
