She said the Samajwadi Party insulted Dalit intellectuals and saints.
She alleged that districts, medical colleges, parks and other places and institutions, named after Dalit saints were changed by Mulayam Singh and Ahilesh Yadav under their governments.
She also alleged all scholarships and benefits meant for Dalit class were also finished by their government.
The leader warned Dalit leaders who joined the SP that they will be taught a lesson by the people in the coming election.
