Mayawati Promises To Make Western UP A Separate State

As mentioned earlier, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati announced on Sunday that if her government is formed at the Centre, they will declare Western Uttar Pradesh as a separate state. Addressing a public meeting here today, the BSP supremo alleged that during the Samajwadi Party’s government in Uttar Pradesh, hatred between Jat and the Muslim community was increased.

“We will declare Western Uttar Pradesh as a separate state when our government is formed at the Centre, for the development of the people of this region. Along with this, special attention will be given to the interests of farmers, labourers, unemployed and small traders. When the party was formed, people from the opposition party had spread the word that BSP was against the Jats. But when our government was formed, there were no riots in Western Uttar Pradesh, especially in Muzaffarnagar,” she said.

‘We Did Not Allow Any Caste Or Communal Conflict’, Says Mayawati

“We did not allow any caste conflict or communal conflict to happen here. The Brotherhood of Jats and Muslims was broken during the SP government. Here Muslims and Jats fought among themselves,” she added. Further, Mayawati said that to maintain brotherhood among Muslims and Jats in Muzzafarnagar Constituency, she wanted to field a Muslim candidate from here.

“We gave ticket to a person coming from an extremely backward class in Muzaffarnagar. To maintain brotherhood among Muslims and the Jaat community, we have fielded Chaudhary Bijender Singh from the Bijnor Lok Sabha seat. But we have not neglected the Muslim people of Muzaffarnagar. We took full care of them in politics as well. My heart wished that from here the Muslim community should come forward in the election field but the SP government had generated so much hatred that no one from the Muslim community was ready to contest the election. Because of this we had to field the extremely backward class in the elections,” Mayawati said.

The first phase of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 will begin on April 19 and the last phase of voting will take place on June 1, 2024. The counting of votes will happen on June 4, 2024.
