A day after the results of the Lok Sabha polls were declared, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati appeared to blame Muslims for her party’s worst-ever performance in the Lok Sabha elections.
With no elected MP in Lok Sabha and its vote share this general election down to 2.04%, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), the only national-level Dalit party in the country, could lose its national status once the Election Commission carries out its customary review post general elections, The Indian Express has learned.
Weeks after the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) recorded its worst-ever Lok Sabha performance, party supremo Mayawati on Sunday reinstated her nephew Akash Anand as her sole political heir and the party’s national coordinator while urging leaders to “give him more respect than earlier”.
The decline of Mayawati’s Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in the political landscape of Uttar Pradesh and the country continued in this Lok Sabha election as the party failed to lead in a single seat.
THE BSP is the only national party that has fielded a Muslim candidate for the Lok Sabha polls in Gujarat, with even the Congress refraining from nominating one.
BSP national coordinator Akash Anand, 28, is party supremo Mayawati’s nephew andpolitical successor. Besides Mayawati, Anand is the BSP’s main campaigner in the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh and other states. In a free-wheeling interview with The Indian Express, Anand speaks on a wide range of issues including the state of affairs in the BSP, his plans and the party’s roadmap firmed up by Mayawati, whom he calls “Behenji” in public and “Bua Maa” at home. Excerpts:
Of the 57 Lok Sabha candidates the Samajwadi Party (SP) has announced so far, at least 14 are from the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). Among them are former close aides of party chief and former Uttar Pradesh CM Mayawati such as Babu Singh Kushwaha and Lalji Verma.
The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), which is contesting alone in the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls, has over the last couple of days floated the names of candidates for three western Uttar Pradesh seats — Saharanpur, Amroha and Moradabad.
