Mayawati reacts to Waqf Amendment Bill after its passage
A day after the Waqf Amendment Bill was passed by Parliament, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati broke her silence on it through a couple of social media posts.
Demanding caste census in the country, Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati has charged that BJP and Congress were not serious over caste census and were only doing theatrics.
In a couple of tweets on Wednesday on social media X, Mayawati wrote: “The ongoing confrontation between Congress and BJP in Parliament yesterday, especially regarding the caste and caste census, is an attempt to deceive the OBC community and doing theatrics. Because the history of both the parties regarding their reservation, both openly and behind the scenes, has been strongly anti-OBC thus it is not right to trust them at all.”

The Center needs to be serious about this. Crores of poor, backward and Bahujans also have a right in the development of the country. In fulfilling which caste census has an important role”.
