Mayawati accuses SP of being ant-Dalit, says withdrawing 1995 guest house attack case was a 'mistake'

Accusing the Samajwadi Party of being anti-Dalit, the Bahujan Samaj Party President Mayawati on Thursday admitted that withdrawing the case related to the state guest house attack on her in 1995 was a 'mistake' on her part. In a press statement, Mayawati said that she had entered into an alliance with the SP in 2019, setting aside the acrimony of the June 2, 1995 incident. "Akhilesh kept telling Satish Chandra Mishra to withdraw the guest house case which I did. The BSP fully supported the SP candidates in the Lok Sabha elections but we did not get their votes," she said.
