Ahead of the Haryana Assembly Elections, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Mayawati on Monday urged the Dalit leaders to follow the path laid forth by Dr BR Ambedkar and cut off ties with the Congress and other "casteist parties", PTI reported.

According to PTI, the comments come amid attempts by the BSP and the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) alliance to showcase itself as a pro-Dalit alternative in Haryana.
