Mayawati targeted the opposition

She said, "Among the many important works done by the BSP government in Uttar Pradesh, a new Sant Ravidas district was created in the name of Sant Ravidas ji while reserving the status of bhadohi as the district headquarters, which has been changed by the Samajwadi party government due to casteism and political hatred, but the current government of bharatiya janata party (BJP) has also not restored its name till now, which is a matter of great sadness and it proves that the thinking of these parties is equally hateful and casteist." mayawati said, "Establishment of Sant Ravidas Park and Ghat in varanasi, the birthplace of Sant Ravidas, construction of Sant Guru Ravidas government College in Faizabad, installation of the statue of Sant Ravidas ji in varanasi itself, establishment of Sant Ravidas Samman Award etc. are the prominent ones by the BSP government."
