MAYAWATI: BSP INCLUSIONS

More and more political leaders from UP are joining Mayawati

To take this mobilisation to its logical conclusion, Mayawati – no friend of the traders until now – has recently ordered that no arbitrary arrests be made under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955.

Dalit writer Chandrabhan Prasad told B&E, “The Brahman-Dalit confluence was a winning poll slogan. After coming to power, Mayawati is trying to increase her mass base. As compared to rural strongholds, her appeal in urban areas is limited, so these moves are aimed at bridging the gap.” The lineup of those who have joined the BSP is quiet impressive. Munawar Hussain, SP legislator from western Uttar Pradesh, Jagdish Rana, former minister in Mulayam Singh’s cabinet, former Congress legislator Ajay Pratap Singh & Lok Dal legislator, Kadir Rana who are now all formally in the BSP.
