BSP supremo Mayawati has given her reaction on the speech given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the 78th anniversary of Independence Day. She said that how correct is it that the PM has not been able to kindle any new ray of hope among the 125 crore people affected by the burning national problems of immense poverty, unemployment, inflation and backwardness? She asked when will the âgood daysâ come for the people?
On PM Modiâs statement that the country needs a secular uniform civil code, he said, is it right to call the constitutional system of the principle of secularism of equal respect for all religions by Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar âcommunalâ? The government should follow secularism as per the intention of the Constitution, this is true patriotism and Rajdharma.
He said that the Prime Ministerâs speech from the Red Fort on Independence Day was quite long, but extremely disappointing in terms of protecting the rights of crores of Dalits and tribals to reservation etc., whereas this is a very important and burning issue after the decision of the Supreme Court dated August 1, 2024.
The Prime Minister also forgot to remember the assurance given to the BJP MPs in this regard, whereas the SC-ST sections of the country have a big complaint against the Congress for adopting such a casteist attitude because this party, like the BJP, has also maintained silence till now on their sub-classification and division, which is unfair.
