Avarampoo is also known as Cassia Auriculata. In this video we learn of how this flower can benefit the health of our body.

“We alone can challenge and defeat the casteist, communal and pro-capitalist BJP! Get ready!”
Behanji Mayawati’s clarion call to the BSP workers.

We,
the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes and
Religious Minorities, are able to secure our rights guaranteed under the
Constitution of India due to the incessant struggle and matchless
sacrifice of Babasaheb Dr. Bheemrao Ambedkar. But the caste-prejudiced
governments did not implement these rights to the benefit of our people.
As the result, despite the provisions of Constitution, our
socio-economic condition remained worst as before. Hence, Babasaheb
advocated us to form the government on our own by getting united under
one political platform and one leadership. In this direction, he
contemplated to launch the Republican Party of India during his
life-time. But he, perhaps, did not know that he would die so early even
before he could bring his plans into action. He could not complete the
task which was later on completed by Manyawar Kanshi Ram Saheb.

As
dreamt by Babasaheb Dr. Ambedkar, Manyawar Kanshi Ram Saheb launched
the political party, namely, Bahujan Samaj Party on April 14, 1984.  We,
by following the footsteps of our ancestors and guidance of Manyawar
Kanshi Ram Saheb, are able to form our own government for four times in
Uttar Pradesh in the past. As the result, we are able to improve the
socio-economic condition of our people in Uttar Pradesh. We are able to
secure the constitutional rights of our people. We are also able to
build memorials, statues and parks in the honor of our ancestors. But we
could not succeed to form our government in other states. As the
result, atrocities against our people are continuing unabatedly.
Exploitation of the poor has not been ended.

Tampering of EVMs
by BJP :  Our failure to form our own government in other states has
helped the BJP to defeat us in Uttar Pradesh. They found that BSP is
strong only in UP and not in other states and hence they thought that if
they could finish us in UP, BSP will die a natural death in all other
states. That is how they focused their entire strength to defeat us in
UP. However, they could not win through fair means. They had to resort
to fraudulent way of tampering the electronic voting machines (EVMs) to
defeat us.

BJP and company had used the EVMs in 2014 itself to
win the General Election. We thought that it was the mandate against the
scams-ridden and scandals-tainted rule of Congress. But the election
results of the five states held in March 2017 have exposed the EVM
scandal of BJP. They could not win in Punjab, Uttarkhand, Goa and
Manipur. In Goa and Manipur, Congress party got lead over the BJP. But
BJP leaders have managed the other MLAs form their governments. In
Uttarkhand, it was the internal quarrel of the Congress that gave a lead
to the BJP. In Punjab, the anti-incumbency factor of Akali Dal gave the
victory to Congress. BJP, being the partner of Akali Dal, lost the
election. In all the above four states, they did not tamper with the
EVMs and the results were on the expected lines. But in Uttar Pradesh,
nobody expected that BJP would get such a huge margin of victory. The
senior bureaucrats of UP, who are usually the first to know the results
in advance, were making preparations to welcome the BSP Government. They
were utterly surprised when the results were announced. I, seeing the
trend of results late in the morning, went to the press and exposed the
EVM fraud. Later on, we also launched nation-wide struggle against the
fraud of EVMs and legal battle to get the VVPAT incorporated with EVMs.
Thus, we are confronting the BJP at every step.

BJP Mischief in
Saharanpur: It is to be understood that we are the only one who are
challenging the RSS agenda of BJP rulers during the past three years. Be
it the death of Rohit Vemula in Hyderabad University, attack against
Dalits in Una of Gujarat, Vyapam scandal of Madya Pradesh or lynching of
Muslims in Dadri, I vehemently opposed and exposed them in the Rajya
Sabha.  Hence, the BJP leaders had been hatching plans to choke our
voice. They are planning to isolate BSP from other communities and limit
us only to Dalits. That is why they managed to create clashes between
Dalits and the Jat community in Saharanpur. They are also able to use a
Dalit organization in their conspiracy. I have clearly understood the
game-plan of BJP behind the Saharanpur clashes. I decided to expose them
in the Parliament. When I gave the notice to speak on the Saharanpur
issue in the Rajya Sabha on July 18, 2017, they were afraid that their
mischief would get exposed and hence they did not allow me to speak.
Even the ministers also joined the chorus to prevent my speech. I went
to the Parliament to give voice to the aspirations of people and find
redresses to their woes. The issue of Sabbirpur in Saharanpur is a very
serious one in which a Dalit was killed, several others were injured and
their houses were burnt. If I am not allowed to do justice to my
aggrieved people and not able to protect them, why should I remain in
the Parliament? BJP people may try to silence me. But I, being
Babasaheb’s daughter and Kanshi Ram Saheb’s disciple, cannot be silenced
by anyone. I decided to resign my Rajya Sabha membership as Babasaheb
Ambedkar did in 1951. I, after quitting the Rajya Sabha seat, have also
decided to tour the whole country to prepare our people and strengthen
our movement in every state. We must put an end to all kinds of
exploitations by forming our government.

Have Faith in the
Success of our Movement: The BJP has become strong not because of its
own strength, but because of the failure of other parties. Presently,
you may be thinking that we can succeed if we join the UPA / Congress
and other parties. These parties are in such pitiable conditions that
they cannot be of any use to us. We must achieve the success on our own
strength without depending on any other party. In fact, only we can
challenge and defeat the casteist, communal and pro-capitalist BJP.
Other than BSP, no other party has got the determination and morality to
challenge BJP. Do not lose your faith in the success of our movement.
Do not lose your heart in the face of odd situations. Our ancestors had
faced much more tough situations, but they did not lose heart. Babasaheb
Ambedkar and Manyawar Kanshi Ramji were neither disappointed nor did
they get discouraged when they faced severe challenges and setbacks.
Look at me. Have you ever seen me disheartened, sad and disappointed?
Every tough situation has made me tougher and made me to move ahead with
greater determination. When I took over the charge of party’s president
post, I had faced toughest time of my life. Our old leaders such as
Phulsingh Barayya and Davuram Ratnakar betrayed the movement by playing
in the hands of other parties. But I was not disappointed. I carried
ahead the movement all alone. I always enjoyed my work. You must also do
your work with great joy. Do not think that success brings us joy. On
the other hand it is the joy that brings us success. We must carry our
struggles with great celebration and bliss. The present situation may
look very critical and depressing. But we can convert this situation to
our advantage by our determination and hard work. Be ready to take over
the challenges. We should never think that ‘why should I work when I
would not be getting any benefit?’ We are already reaping the benefits
of struggles of our ancestors. We must now work for the benefit of our
future generations. If we fail to do our duty, our children will be
forced to become slaves in future.
