BSP supremo Mayawati
Mayawati and her party BSP are going through crisis. At least it seems so from the election results. In terms of political strength, UP has been the center of BSP. Mayawati has been the Chief Minister of UP four times. But the account of the party was not even opened in the Lok Sabha elections in the same UP. After decades, the party’s vote share has dwindled to single digits. The party contested the Lok Sabha elections single-handedly and secured 9.3 percent of the votes. BSP could win only one seat in 2022 UP elections. Opposition BSP is accusing it of being B team of BJP. In such a situation, Mayawati is looking for a strong point. Based on which the BSP can say that the times are bad but the future is not.
Mayawati sees hope in Supreme Court decision on SC-ST reservation. Hope to bring back BSP to its old form. There is a mountain of challenges ahead of them. Dalit voters who used to support him till now have slowly started moving towards Samajwadi Party and Congress. Voters from the non-Jatav Valmiki, Khatik and Sonkar castes have already moved to the BJP. The younger generation of the Dalit community in UP has started moving towards Chandrasekhar Ravana.
After a long time, the enthusiasm of the BSP leaders is high
Akash Anand, Mayawati’s nephew, started his Lok Sabha campaign in UP with Nagina. Chandrasekhar was contesting elections from here for his party. After winning, he has become the MP of Lok Sabha. He calls Mayawati his leader from every platform. But his party is cutting the votes of BSP.
After a long time, BSP leaders are showing enthusiasm. During Bharat Bandh, party workers reached many places in the country with blue flags. BSP supporters took to the streets against the Supreme Court’s decision. BSP has no tradition of protests. But this time party workers from Patna to Deoria clashed with the police during Bharat Bandh. eat sticks But the opposition to reservation within the quota continued. Party chief Mayawati did not expect such huge support. Even the party account could not be opened in the Lok Sabha elections. BSP has only one MLA in UP. In such a situation, the enthusiasm of the workers has given Mayawati new strength.
After many years party workers were brought to the streets
A BSP leader lamented that bahinji is limited to social media only. But BSP president Mayawati took the party workers on the streets after many years. Mayawati is trying to save her vote bank in the name of Supreme Court decision. Lately, he starts his day with this issue. Early in the morning he writes on social media against BJP, Congress and Samajwadi Party over Dalit reservation. Mayawati is strongly opposed to creating a sub-category from the creamy layer in SC reservation. The BSP chief feels that this decision can prevent the dispersal of Dalit votes in UP.
National executive meeting on 27th August
BSP chief Mayawati has called a meeting of the party’s national executive on August 27. Senior party leaders from across the country will reach Lucknow for this meeting. Mayawati will be re-elected as the party’s national president in this meeting. Before this, he became the President in 2019. Earlier, the party president was elected every three years. But now after five years elections have started.
