After returning Gandhi, Mayawati accused the Congress of being “double character” and “racist mentality” towards BSP supporters.
He further argued that the previous alliance with the Congress was always harmful to the BSP.
“Whenever the BSP is associated with the Congress or other casteist parties, our base vote was transferred to them. But it was never mutual. As a result, BSP always suffered losses, “he said in his X post.

Interestingly, Gandhi started by praising Mayawati during his conversation with Dalit students.
Gandhi talked about the role of BSP founder Kanshi Ram in Indian politics.
He said, “I believe that Kanshi Ram ji laid the foundation, and Behenji (Mayawati) built it,” he said before questioning his current political stance.
