Lucknow, 6 Dec (HS): Bahujan samaj party president Mayawati said on Wednesday that neither independence warriors nor the architect of the Indian Constitution, Bhimrao Ambedkar, would have imagined that more than 81 crore impoverished people in the nation would be reliant on government-provided foodgrains. She criticized the Centre for hike in prices of essential commodities.
Paying respect to Dr. Ambedkar on the occasion of his death anniversary, she stated that if the Constitution had been implemented properly, the condition of the poor, labourers, farmers, small business people and the middle class might have been much improved.
Mayawati in a post on X, paid homage to Bharat Ratna Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, the messiah of the poor, labourers, Dalits, tribals and backward classes in the 140-million-strong India and the architect of the country’s humanitarian and equitable constitution, on the occasion of his death anniversary.
She however, take potshots at the union government on occasion, claiming that neither the independence fighters nor Ambedkar could have imagined the hardship of the country’s more than 81 crore poor people who rely on government rations to sustain themselves. “This situation is very sad. The poor, labourers, small businessmen, farmers and middle class are in distress as a result of the country’s lack of livelihood and the onslaught of inflation. Spending has outpaced income. However, with proper application of the Constitution, their situation might have been much improved,” the BSP supremo stated.
