Abstract

Jaiveer Singh, Minister of Tourism and Culture in Uttar Pradesh, criticized Mayawati and Rahul Gandhi for their tokenism towards Dalits, accusing them of only seeking Dalit votes without making real efforts for their uplift. Singh argued that the BJP is the only party genuinely working to empower and develop Dalits, citing initiatives that have improved housing, access to clean drinking water, healthcare, and other facilities for marginalized communities. He also criticized the Samajwadi Party (SP) in relation to a fake currency scam in Kushinagar, stating that the party is associated with criminal activities. Singh dismissed accusations by former UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav that police encounters are conducted based on caste, emphasizing that the government treats criminals as they deserve under its 'zero-tolerance' policy.
