Meshram said she too has come to know about the letter from the newspapers and added that it would be looked into. She was responding to queries when her attention was drawn to the BSP national general secretary S C Misra stating that Commission’s “unjustified and one-sided” decision has demoralised the party and left Dalits and backwards “cheated”.
