BSP chief says she ‘does not want to change’ the way her party works and campaigns
What is stopping Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati from holding public rallies and holding public rallies like other parties in Uttar Pradesh, which are in the polls soon? This question has haunted his supporters, observers as well as political rivals. The answer clearly lies in the financial constraints faced by the BSP and its reluctance to change the way it works and its style, as Ms. Mayawati herself explained to her voters in an address on Saturday.
Four-time Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati said that the BSP does not believe in copying other parties, but believes in acting wisely keeping in mind the economic condition of the people of her party. She said that if she imitates her opponents and holds many rallies before the election announcement, her supporters will not be able to bear the financial burden of the rallies during the election.
The BSP is a party of the “poor and oppressed”, Ms Mayawati said, adding that other parties get a lot of money from governments as well as capitalists and industrialists.
“Unlike other parties, our party is not a party of the bourgeoisie and dhannasethS (big businessmen). Our party is a political party as well as a movement. And even if we copy others, the lack of funds during elections can harm the party,” said Ms. Mayawati.
The BSP chief also said that she “does not want to change” the way her party operates and the way it appears and campaigns in elections. His rivals can make fun of whatever they want and the media can continue writing.”Wrong right“Against him, she said.
Ms. Mayawati has been absent from the 2022 election campaign, even when her main rivals, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party’s Union Home Minister Amit Shah; Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav; And even Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra organizes regular rallies, road shows and public events to further her respective narratives.
So far, Ms. Mayawati has deputed her party’s general secretary and Brahmin face Satish Chandra Mishra to tour the state and hold public rallies with the message of being elected as the UP CM for the fifth time.
Ms. Mayawati also hit back at Mr. Shah for taking a dig at his absence from the campaign, and said that “poor’s money along with the exchequer” was keeping BJP leaders warm.
,it’s hot in the coldMs. Mayawati said, in what appears to be a direct reply to Mr. Shah, who said at a recent rally that she was yet to beat the cold.
,Sister’s cold hasn’t even blown away yet. He’s scared. Behenji, the election has come, a little bit has come out. Don’t say later that I didn’t campaign (Behenji is yet to beat the cold. She is scared. (Sister, elections are here, step outside now. Don’t say later that you didn’t even campaign),” Mr. Shah said.
