Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Maurya has accused the previous Congress and Samajwadi Party governments of creating socio-economic imbalances in the country, particularly in Uttar Pradesh, by giving Muslims preferential treatment at the expense of Dalits, OBCs, and SC/ST communities. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also criticized the Congress for its policy of “Musalmanon ka saath, Musalmanon ka vikas,” which, he says, has led to a depletion of resources for other communities.
