While speaking to ANI on Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati, Minister of State (MoS) for Social Justice and Empowerment, Ramdas Athawale said, “Mayawati became Chief Minister thrice with support from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). If she wants to work for upliftment of Dalits then she should consider forming an alliance with Modi ji. Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)-Samajwadi Party (SP) alliance will not last long as voters do not approve of it.”
