Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), Jul 01 (ANI): Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati said that the announcement made by Uttar Pradesh government of including 17 communities to the Other Backward Classes (OBC) in the Scheduled Castes (SC) list is a 'fraud'. She said, "It's a fraud with people belonging to these 17 castes, as they won't receive the benefits of any of the categories as UP govt will not treat them as OBCs." She further added, "They won't receive the benefits of belonging to SC as no state govt can put them or remove them from any of the categories through its orders."
