Allegations of child labour surfaces during Mayawati`s Badaun visit

Badaun (Uttar Pradesh): In an irony of sorts there is report of child labour being used to construct the helipad of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati coinciding her tour on Sunday to meet with the affected families of rape victims.

Targeting BSP, Badaun MP, Dharmendra Yadav has called for the administration to look into this matter and held the BSP accountable for it. Meanwhile BSP supremo Mayawati today paid a visit to the family members of the teenage Dalit girls who were found hanging from a tree after being gangraped. Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi had also visited the parents of the deceased girls yesterday. Speaking at a press conference earlier, Mayawati said, "The family of Badaun rape victims wants justice, not compensation. Our party wants to help them get that justice."
