Blaming BSP’s Supremo Mayawati for playing caste politics, Congress (I) has said she is favoring only her own Jatav community in the name of dalits. While the plight of dalits and poor remains as it was before, Mayawati has help her Jatav community to which belong to prosper. As a result resentment is growing among dalits and poor who feel Mayawati has been cheating them, said Congress (I). Another disturbing trend the people are experiencing is that the number of cases being filed against upper castes and OBCs under the SC/ST Atrocities Act has swelled in the last five years. “As soon as a Dalit files an FIR,” explained a lawyer in Bareilly, “he gets Rs.25,000 from the government; if he wins the case, he gets another lakh. The accused, languishing in jail, usually tries hard to get the case withdrawn through a compromise, sweetened by more money.”
