Mayawati said that to deal with these problems, people will have to develop within themselves the desire to become the ruling class from the exploited like in UP.

He said that this is the goal of the Ambedkarite movement and the biggest demand of the time is to move forward by defeating all the tactics of casteist-communal forces like price, punishment, discrimination etc. Senior and responsible officials of the party were present in the meeting. Everyone presented their area-wise report and resolved to speed up the work at the grassroots level as per Mayawati’s instructions.
