Lucknow: Crying foul on 'too much of drama' over Ambedkar by the BJP and Congress, the Bahujan Samaj Party Supremo Mayawati on Thursday said that that both the parties were trying to dilute the Dalit movement of her party by fabricating her in false cases.

Showing scant jitters in the wake of fresh petition filed in the Supreme Court on Wednesday, she called upon her party workers not to be puzzled by this as both the parties were trying to play Dalit-OBC card to their ulterior political motives. '' We have to remain unfazed and continue to uphold the principles of Bahujan Samaj Party,'' she said while addressing a public rally here on the occasion of 125 Ambedkar birth anniversary.

Mayawati minced no words in stating that Dalits of this country were always cheated first by the Congress and now by the BJP. ''The drama of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Ambedkar will not hold waters as he has already exposed him in the eyes of the people of the country,'' she added.
