Congress-led UPA government could also have filed a review petition in the Supreme Court, which had quashed UP government's decision on reservation in promotions for SC/STs, but it did not, Mayawati alleged.
Congress also had the option of asking a competent legal counsel to defend the case of continuing the reservation quota in promotions, but it did not do so, she said.
Both Congress and the BJP conspired to deny the rights to lakhs of government employees, she alleged and asked the cadre to remain equidistant from both the parties.
