Introduction to the Patimokkha Rules


BSP to play caste card in Assembly elections

Aasha Khosa / New Delhi November 10, 2008, 0:43 IST

As
the analysts were exploring common links in the rise of Barack Obama as
the US President and the Mayawati phenomenon back home, the Bahujan
Samajwadi Party (BSP) chief was busy finalising her caste-based plans
for the coming Assembly elections.

The BSP, which had romped home in Uttar Pradesh last year, is
planning to contest Assembly elections in all the constituencies in
five state ā€” Delhi, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jammu
and Kashmir ā€” going to polls in November and December.

According to BSP sources, Mayawati action plan involves playing on
the existing differences between castes and communities in a given
state. ā€œThis time, we are working towards emerging as a ruling force in all these states,ā€ an MP from BSP said.

The partyā€™s efforts to repeat the winning formula of Uttar Pradesh,
which was a strategic alliance between the traditional supporters of
BSP ā€”  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is, the Great Prabuddha Bharathā€” and the upper caste Brahmins, in other states did not
work. ā€œMishraji (Satish Chandra Mishra, political aide of Mayawati) had
tried to hold Brahmin Sabhas in Rajasthan much in advance.

However, the party has now dangled the bait of reservation before
the Gujjars while retaining its base among the rival Meena tribal
community in Rajasthan.

Likewise, in Chhattisgarh, a recently-floated political party ā€”
Godwana Ganatantra Dal, which promises to espouse the cause of the
tribals, may prove to be a blessing in disguise for the BSP. The
leaders feel the new party would wean away the traditional supporters
of both Congress and BJP, thus giving an advantage to the BSP.

ā€œThe more the contestants, better it is for us,ā€ the BSP leader
said. Similarly, the presence of Uma Bhartiā€™s Bharatiya Janshakti Party
in Madhya Pradesh would play a spoiler for the BJP and Congress.

Muslims unhappy over decline in representation

Cong, BJP let down people, says Mayawati

 Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)supremo Mayawati Sunday hit out at the Congress-led Government at the Centre and  Bharatiya Janata Party government ruled States  for `ignoring the basic needs of common peopleā€™.

ā€˜Poor and middle class are the worst sufferer of Congress governmentā€™s unchecked inflation while BJP in States ruled by them failed to improve peopleā€™s life quality mainly of scheduled caste (SC)
and scheduled tribe (ST)”.

She sought an opportunity from the people to let the BSP form a government in the state, claiming that only her party was committed to the poor and marginalized people.
