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.

We need to become ruling class if we want to form a casteless society – Saheb Kanshi Ram

About Bahujan Samaj Party

Bahujan Samaj Party
(BSP) or Majority People’s Party is one of the only five prominent national
political parties of India, which is the largest democracy of the world.

Brief Introduction :

The ideology of the
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) is “Social Transformation and Economic Emancipation”
of the “Bahujan Samaj “, which comprises of the Scheduled Castes (SCs), the
Scheduled Tribes (STs), the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and Religious
Minorities such as Sikhs, Muslims, Christians, Parsis and Buddhists and account
for over 85 per cent of the country’s total population.

The people belonging to
all these classes have been the victims of the “Manuwadi” system in the country
for thousands of years, under which they have been vanquished, trampled upon
and forced to languish in all spheres of life. In other words, these people
were deprived even of all those human rights, which had been secured for the
upper caste Hindus under the age-old “Manuwadi Social System”.

Among the great persons
(Mahapurush) belonging to “Bahujan Samaj”, who fought courageously and with
commitment against the brutal and oppressive Manuwadi system, for providing a
level playing field to the downtrodden to help move forward in their lives with
“self-respect” and at par with the upper castes Hindus, especially Baba Saheb
Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar’s socio-political campaign later proved to be very
effective in this direction.

Though the contributions
of leaders of the downtrodden communities like Mahatma Jyotiba Phule,
Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj, Narayana Guru and Periyar E. V. Ramaswami have
been immense in the fight against the obnoxious Manuwadi system, but the
struggle of Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, who was born in Scheduled Caste
community, and that of Manyawar Kanshi Ram Ji later proved to be greatly
effective and pregnant with far-reaching consequences.

Besides waging a
spirited campaign against the Manuwadi Social System, Dr. Ambedkar instilled
consciousness among not only the Dalits, but also among those belonging to
other backward groups, which continue to be victimised and trampled under this
oppressive and unjust Manuvadi Social System.

By virtue of his pivotal
role in the framing of the Indian Constitution, these groups were given a
number of rights in the Constitution on a legal basis to lead a life of dignity
and self-respect. But he was fully conscious of the fact that these exploited
sections of the society would not be able to get the full legal rights as long
as the governments would remain dominated by the Manuwadi persons and parties.

That’s why Dr. Ambedkar,
during his lifetime, had counseled the “Bahujan Samaj” that if they wanted to
fully enjoy the benefits of their legal rights, as enshrined in the
Constitution, they would have to bond together all the Bahujan groups on the
basis of unity and fraternity, bring them on a strong political platform and
capture the “Master Key” of political power. This was to be the modus operandi
for the formation of Bahujan Governments at the Centre and in States. Only such
governments could enforce all the constitutional and legal rights of the
“Bahujan Samaj” and provide opportunities to its People to move forward in all
spheres of life besides enabling them to lead a life of “self-respect”.

Keeping in view this
observation and advice of Dr. Ambedkar, respected Manyawar Kanshi Ram Ji
founded the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), with the help of his associates, on
April 14, 1984. For many years while he enjoyed good health, he prepared the
“Bahujan Samaj” to secure the “master key” of political power, which opens all
the avenues for social and economic development.

However, being a
diabetic and host of other serious ailments, his health did not permit him to
lead an active political life for too long. On December 15, 2001, Manyawar
Kanshi Ram Ji, while addressing a mammoth rally of the BSP at the Lakshman Mela
Ground in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh on the banks of the river Gomti, declared
Kumari (Miss) Mayawati Ji, then the lone Vice-President of the Party, as his
only political heir and successor.

Moreover, on September
15, 2003, Manyawar Kanshi Ram Ji’s health suffered a serious setback, and the
entire responsibility of the Party fell on the shoulders of Bahan (Sister)
Kumari Mayawati Ji. Later, on September 18, 2003, the Party, through a
consensus and in keeping with its Constitution, made her its National
President.

Being the National
President of a National Party, Kumari Mayawati Ji in her address sought to
assure that “I would like to make aware people of the country that my Party,
the BSP, is committed to not only improving the socio-economic conditions of
people belonging to the “Bahujan Samaj” but also of the poor among the upper
caste Hindus, small and medium farmers, traders and people engaged in other
professions.

But people of the
Manuwadi mindset, even if they are in different fields of life, are acting
under a conspiracy to project the image of the BSP as if it is confined to
championing the cause of Dalits alone and is opposed to the upper castes Hindus
and other sections of the society. Also, the BSP has nothing to do with the
issues of national interest. However, on the basis of facts, I can say with
firmness and conviction that all such talks are a bunch of lies, baseless and
devoid of facts and are nothing else more than a slanderous campaign of the
status quoits Manuwadi forces. The policies, objectives and ideology of the BSP
are crystal clear and attuned to the welfare of the entire country and its vast
population.

On the basis of its
ideology, the BSP wants to sound the death-knell of the “Manuwadi Social
System” based on the ‘Varna’ (which is an inequality social system) and
striving hard and honestly for the establishment of an egalitarian and
“Humanistic Social System” in which everyone enjoys JUSTICE (social, economic
and political) and EQUALITY (of status and of opportunity) as enshrined in the
PREAMBLE of the Constitution.

Further, our Party
Constitution very clearly states that “the chief aim and objective of the Party
shall be to work as a revolutionary social and economic movement of change with
a view to realise, in practical terms, the supreme principles of universal
justice, liberty, equality and fraternity enunciated in the Constitution of
India.”

Such a social system is
wholly in the overall interest of the Country and all sections of the society
too. If, in this missionary work of “Social Transformation”, people of the
upper castes (Hindus) shed their Manuwadi mindset and join hands with the
Bahujan Samaj, our Party, with all due respect and affection would embrace
them. Such people will be given suitable positions in the Party organisation in
accordance with their ability, dedication and efficiency, and there would be no
distinction between them and those belonging to the Bahujan Samaj. Also they
will be fielded as Party candidates in the parliamentary and assembly
elections, and if our government is formed, they will also be given ministerial
berths.

These are not hollow
talks because the BSP in the past, during the three successive governments, had
implemented all such promises. In Uttar Pradesh, Ms. Mayawati government was
formed four times, and on each occasion, upper castes people were inducted in
the Council of Ministers. Even an upper caste person was appointed to an
all-important post of Advocate General. They were given the Party ticket for
Lok Sabha and Assembly elections and also nominated to the Parliament’s Upper
Chamber i.e. Rajya Sabha and state Legislative Councils.

In addition, upper caste
people have been given high posts in the Party organisation. For example, Mr.
Satish Chandra Mishra was nominated to the Rajya Sabha and also was made
national general secretary of the Party. In similar fashion, other castes of
the Upper Castes (Hindus) were promoted.

Thus, keeping in view
all these facts, it would be injudicious and fallacious to hold that the BSP
works for the welfare of a particular group or section. Yes, the Party does
give priority to those sections, which have been ignored and scorned all along
by the Manuwadi governments in all spheres of life. In addition, the BSP has
always contributed positively to all issues pertaining to the welfare of the
Country. The BSP has always taken an unequivocal stand on issues of the
Country’s welfare and never compromised on the issues related to the interest
of the country whenever the need arose.

Aims and Objectives

The chief aim and
objective of the party shall be to work as a revolutionary social and economic
movement of change with a view to realise, in practical terms, the supreme
principles of universal justice, liberty, equality and fraternity enunciated in
the Constitution of India, to be followed by State in governance, and in
particular summed up in the following extract from the Preamble of the
Constitution.

We, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA,
having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SECULAR
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens:
Justice, social, economic and political;
Liberty of thought, expression,
belief, faith and worship;
Equality of status and
opportunity; and promote among them all
Fraternity assuring the dignity of
the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;”

The Party shall regard
its ideology as a movement for ending exploitation of the weaker sections and
suppression of the deprived through social and economic change in keeping with
the above stated chief aim, and its political activity and participation in
governance as an instrument of furthering such a movement and bringing in such
a change.

This being the chief aim
of the Party, the strategy of the Party in public affairs will be governed by
the following general principles:

1. That all citizens of
India being equal before law are entitled to be treated as equal in true sense
and in all matters and all walks of life, and where equality does not exist it
has to be fostered and where equality is denied it has to be upheld and fought
for.

2. That the full, free,
uninhibited and unimpeded development of each individual is a basic human right
and State is an instrument for promoting and realising such development;

3. That the rights of
all citizens of India as enshrined in the Constitution of India and subject to
such restrictions as are set out in the Constitution, have to be upheld at all
costs and under all circumstances;

4. That the provisions
of the Constitution requiring the State at Center and in States to promote with
special care and protect the socio-economic interests of the weaker sections of
the society denied to them for centuries, have to upheld and given practical
shape in public affairs as a matter of prime most priority.

5. That economic
disparities and the wide gaps between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’ must not
be allowed to override the political principle of “one man, one vote, one vote,
one value” adopted by our republic.

6. That unless political
empowerment is secured for the economically deprived masses they will not be
able to free themselves from the shackles of economic and social dependence and
exploitation.

In particular and
without prejudice to the generality of the aims stated above the Party will
work specially towards the following objectives:

1. The Scheduled Castes,
the Scheduled Tribes, the other Backward Castes, and the minorities, are the
most oppressed and exploited people in India. Keeping in mind their large
numbers, such a set of people in India is known as the Bahujan Samaj. The Party
shall organise these masses.

2. The party shall work
for these down trodden masses to -
a. to remove their
backwardness;
b. to fight against their
oppression and exploitation;
c. to improve their status
in society and public life;
d. to improve their living
conditions in day to day life;

2. The social structure
of India is based on inequalities created by caste system and the movement of
the Party shall be geared towards changing the social system and rebuild it on
the basis of equality and human values. All those who join the party with the
commitment to co-operate in this movement of social change shall be ingratiated
into the fold of the Party.

Towards the furtherance
of the above noted aims and objectives the organisational units of Party as
designated in this constitution, shall be empowered to:-
1. purchase, take on lease or otherwise acquire, and maintain, moveable or
immovable property for the Party and invest and deal with monies of Party in
such a manner as may from time to time be determined;

2. raise money with or
without security for carrying out any of the aims and objectives of the Party;

3. to do all other
lawful things and acts as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of any
of the aforesaid aims and objectives,

Provided that none of
these activities will be undertaken without the express approval of the
National President.

Non-political
Routes: When Manyawar Kanshi Ram Saheb decided to revive the
Ambedkarite movement, the movement was almost extinct. People had almost
forgotten about the movement. Kanshi Ram Saheb made a deep study as to
the conditions which caused the failure of Ambedkarite movement. He saw
that most of the followers of Babasaheb were out of the movement. He
started probing the reasons which led to the discontinuation of the
movement followed by the death of Babasaheb Ambedkar. He, after a
thorough study, understood that the failure of Ambedkarite movement was
caused due to the lack of ‘non-political routes’ among the Bahujan Samaj
and hence, he decided to strengthen the non-political routes to create
the ‘non-purchasable leadership’. He realized that only that society
with strong non-political routes would produce the ‘non-purchasable’
missionary leaders. Thus he decided to prepare the non-political routes
of the society by preparing the educated employees and youths. Before
launching the Bahujan Samaj Party, he started the BAMCEF and DS-4 to
prepare the educated employees and youth from among the SC/ST/OBCs and
Religious Minorities. He devoted the best part of his life to strengthen
the non-political routes of Bahujan Samaj.

Importance
of Cadre Camps: Maha Mayawati Ji joined the Ambedkarite movement when
Kanshi Ram Saheb was organizing the employees under the banner of
BAMCEF. Seeing my dedication to the movement and capabilities, he
started encouraging her. But the senior members could not tolerate it.
They began opposing Saheb arguing, “How can you project a most junior
person ignoring seniors like us? If you continue to project her too
much, we will leave the organization”. Kanshi Ramji replied them sternly
saying, “If you are thinking to leave tomorrow, it is better for you to
leave today itself. Why postpone it?” All these old members, who are
mostly from Maharashtra and Punjab, left the movement even before Saheb
launched BSP. They went out of BAMCEF and formed their own BAMCEF
outfit. They had even got it registered. Today there are several outfits
of BAMCEF and nobody knows how many outfits are there. Our people have
not gone with them. These seniors went alone and remained alone, but the
people and workers have remained with the movement. Nobody got
disturbed over their exit. Do you know why the workers and people did
not follow those old members?

Those
were the honest people who were solidly prepared by Manyawar Kanshi Ram
Saheb through cadre camps. Cadrization is the only way to prepare
missionary workers and society. Saheb, with his team of missionary
cadres, was able to create new leadership. He went on to start DS-4 and
finally BSP on April 14, 1984. The workers and society remained with the
movement only because they were prepared through the means of
cadrization. Saheb had rejuvenated the Ambedkarite movement only by
conducting cadres.

Warning
to Elders: Maha Mayawti Ji have been telling you to build the party
organization by preparing the workers through cadre camps. But you are
more interested in conducting public rallies, meetings and programs. You
are yet to understand the fact that workers cannot be created by
conducting public programs. There are many things which cannot be told
in the public meetings. Workers cannot be prepared ideologically in
public meetings. We can sustain the movement only by preparing the young
generation through cadre camps. I am seeing an unhealthy development
with old members of our party. They are interchanging their posts among
themselves to prevent the entry of others and new blood into the
movement. This kind of attitude of old workers will lead to stagnation.
This is not good from the viewpoint of party’s progress. She strictly
warn you to change this unhealthy habit. If you do not prepare the
younger generation, our movement will end gradually. We must have a
minimum of 50% young and educated members in every level of party’s
organization. If you, the old leaders, do not accommodate the younger
generation into the party, she will have to take strict action against
you.

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 SC/STs 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 SC/STs and the Jat community in Saharanpur. They are also able
to use a SC/ST 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.- said Maha Mayawati Ji.

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.

Action Plan:
   •   Starting from September 18, 2017, Maha Mayawati Ji will be having programs in Uttar Pradesh on every month of 18.

•   She will also be visiting other states of the country at least
once in a year to address the party workers. All these states have been
grouped in nine zones. These programs are not for the public. They are
only for the party workers of all levels – starting from state to booth
level. In these programs, she will be personally verifying the progress
of formation of committees. These programs are to be conducted in the
name of ‘Grand Conference of Workers’ (Karyakarthan ka Vishal
Mahasabha).
   •   The nine zones with states inherent and the dates of Behanji’s programs are as follows:
   •   Bhopal Zone (Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgad) – Dec. 12, 2017.
   •   Jaipur Zone (Rajastan, Gujarat) – Nov. 30, 2017.
   •   Nagpur Zone (Maharashtra, Telangana, AP, Orissa) – Dec. 10, 2017.
   •   Bangalore Zone (Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Kerala, Puducherry) – Nov. 26, 2017.
   •   Patna Zone (Bihar, West Bengal, Jarkhand) – Jan. 30, 2018.
   •   Delhi Zone – Jan. 28, 2018.
   •   Chandigad Zone(Chandigad, Punjab, Haryana) – Feb. 25, 2018.
   •   Kangada Zone (Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh) – Feb. 27, 2018.
   •   Nova Zone – Uttarkhand - March 4, 2018.

   •   The above programs will continue every year on the above dates without any change.
   •   You have to mobilize funds for the above programs and also for the elections on your own.

•   Now that we are increasing the pace of our movement in a greater
speed, we must mobilize more funds to achieve greater success. Ours is a
self-respect movement. Self-respect movement can succeed only with
self-help. We are not taking funds from business houses and corporate
companies. Collecting money through membership is one source for us. Now
we must restart the collection of funds on my birthday every year as we
were doing earlier. With these two sources, we can manage our party
activities. Office-bearers of every state declared their respective
contribution. Tamilnadu and Karnataka office-bearers declared to
contribute Rs. 25 lakh each. Kerala leaders declared Rs. 10 lakhs and
Puducherry leaders declared Rs. 2 lakhs. These funds must be collected
before Dec. 31 and deposited at the Central Office in the first week of
Jan. 2018. No receipt books to be printed. If it is printed, the
responsible persons will be expelled from the party. Funds must be
collected through registers in the name of Jankalyan Diwas. Similarly,
you must also deposit the membership money with the Central Office as
and when you enroll the members.
   •   Collection of funds on the
eve of my birthday must continue in future, whether I am alive or not.
It must become a tradition for the Bahujan Samaj to collect money for
running the movement.
With these words, I conclude my speech. Jaibheem, Jaibharath”.
