Lucknow. It is believed that all in the life and war Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and Samajwadi Party (SP), considered to be anti-Uttar Pradesh’s politics, have also taken Loksabha Elections 2019 as a war against the BJP. By forgetting the famed Guest House Kand of Lucknow, the two parties have been together once again after 23 years.
During the press conference convened to announce a coalition in Lucknow, Mayawati also remembered that guest house scandal. He said, ‘In national interest we have come back with forgetting that scandal.’
Anti-national parties are coming together to defeat Narendra Modi (Narendra Modi) in the Lok Sabha elections in 2019. It has been proved that politics is now a game of opportunities. There is no permanent friend or enemy here. At least this is going to happen in Uttar Pradesh. Those who did not like to see each other’s looks until today, they are ready to come to a stage after forgetting the 23-year-old antagonism.
There is such a historic picture in Lucknow today. In this picture, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav and BSP supremo Mayawati got a shared press conference. For the Lok Sabha elections 2019, the coalition has almost finalized in both. In today’s press conference, there may be formal announcement about seat sharing and alliance. This alliance is happening after 23 years in both parties. Earlier in 1993, both the parties had become one to defeat the BJP.
Before that when the SP-BSP coalition was formed in 1993, President’s rule was going on in the state after the demolition of Babri. Polarization was at the peak due to the temple-mosque controversy. It was understood by all the political parties. In view of this, two anti-Hindu parties of the state, SP and BSP decided to contest the elections. No party got clear majority in this election. The coalition took charge of power on December 4, 1993. Mayawati becomes chief minister On June 2, 1995, the BSP withdrew from the government and declared withdrawal of support. The coalition of both broke. Mulayam Singh’s government came in a minority after the BSP withdrew support. On June 3, 1995, Mayawati, along with BJP, took over the command of the government.
Whatever happened in the state’s politics on June 2, 1995, rarely happened. In the name of teaching a frenzied crowd, on that day, BSP supremo was bent on attacking Abraru. There are many things that happen on that day. It is still a matter of what happened in the state guest house of Lucknow on June 2, 1995.
Akhilesh defends Mayawati
Both Akhilesh and Mayawati had started giving signs of coming up with a lot earlier. The formula of this pair came out in by-elections in Gorakhpur and Phulpur. In the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP, which was defeated in the Lok Sabha elections, had to suffer in his fortress. Akhilesh Yadav himself went to his house to congratulate Mayawati on her behalf. There are no two opinions in the minds of Mayawati, the guesthouse is still alive, only during a press conference, she had defended Akhilesh Yadav on this case and said that Akhilesh was not even in politics at that time.
What happened that day
After the withdrawal of Mayawati’s support, when the Mulayam Government came under cloud of crisis, the alliance began to save the government. In the end, when there was no talk, SP’s angry activist and MLA reached the State guesthouse located on the Meerabai road of Lucknow, where Mayawati was stopped. On that day, some hooligans, with the BSP supremo locked in the guest house room, have been mistreated. According to the BSP, the people of SP then pushed Mayawati and the case was written that they wanted to kill them. This same scandal is called the guesthouse scandal.
