POLL-MAYAWATI Congress, SAD-BJP promoting caste-based politics: Mayawati HOSHIARPUR, FEB 10 (PTI) Braving chilly weather and heavy rains, workers and supporters of BSP waited for more than two hours to listen to their leader Mayawati at an election rally here today. Addressing the rally at the Roshan Ground to campaign for party nominees Gurdev Singh Dhanota (Hoshiarpur), Bhagwan Singh Chohan (Shamchaurasi) and Kulwinder Singh (Tanda), she alleged that Congress, BJP and SAD were promoting caste-based politics, adding the BSP was not against any upper caste or community. Paying floral tributes to late Kanshi Ram, founder of the BSP, Mayawati condemned the UPA government for not observing a national mourning on the death of their leader. "SAD-B and BJP, who pose themselves as champions of Dalits, remained mum on this issue," she said. The BSP allotted tickets to persons of all comunities in Punjab and appealed to the electorates to vote in favour of its candidates to bring equality in the society.
