Lone Bahujan Samaj Party minister in Karnataka N Mahesh Thursday hit out at ruling coalition partners Congress and JD(S) alleging that their existence is based on caste system and inequality.

Mahesh, who holds primary and secondary education portfolio, held Congress, BJP and JD(S) responsible for economic and social inequality in the country and projected BSP as the champion for the cause of the oppressed.

"I'm saying this openly, whether it is Congress or BJP or Janata Dal, their workers will not understand the ideology that I'm speaking about.

They don't need it because untilthere is this caste system and inequality- Congress, BJP and Janata Dal will continue to exist," Mahesh said.

Addressing a BSP event at Chamarajanagar, he said "The day the caste system and inequality is eradicated, that day Bahujan Samaj Party, the party of Basavanna (12th century social reformer) will come to power."
