Ms. Mayawati accused the Congress of being anti-Dalit, anti-tribal and anti-other backward classes.
After the SP, the BSP announced on Saturday that once the party comes to power in Uttar Pradesh, the old pension scheme for the state government employees will be restored.
Addressing an election meeting in Auraiya, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati promised that "a commission will be formed to look into the demands of the employees of the education and other departments, who have staged demonstrations, and their genuine demands will be accepted".
"It also includes the issue of the old pension scheme for the employees because our party does not agree with the new pension system at all. After the formation of the BSP government, the old pension system will be implemented again," she said.
