Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati
LUCKNOW: Drawing on her tried-and-tested social engineering formula, BSP chief and four-time Uttar Pradesh CM Mayawati on Sunday said the Brahmin community should not have to pay for the misdeeds of slain gangster Vikas Dubey just because he was one of their own.
In a series of tweets that reinforced her Brahmin outreach, the Dalit czarina said, “They (Brahmins) are terrorised and living in fear, and this needs to be addressed”.
Mayawati advised BJP to avoid politics in Dubey’s name or doing anything that instils fear in the Brahmin community. “The state government needs to regain public confidence and act on the basis of strong evidence,”
