Mayawati to strengthen BSP in southern states
Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Thursday met with senior office-bearers of five southern states — Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana — and asked them to strengthen the party’s base before the next parliamentary elections.
The BSP chief also reviewed the activities of party organisation and affected necessary changes.
In the review meeting held at BSP state headquarters in Lucknow, Mayawati sought the progress report of the organisation’s preparations and cadre programmes.
Mayawati said that besides being a political party, the BSP was also an Ambedkarite movement for self-respect and it was necessary to work with full vigour for the same so that the missionary goal of Dr BR Ambedkar could be achieved in the interests of the neglected Bahujans of the country.
Mayawati added that the support and participation of society was significant in this aspect and hence the BSP was committed to the policy and principle of ‘Sarvajan Hitay, Sarvajan Sukhay’ at every level.
The former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh said that southern states should also follow UP and increase their strength and maintain a balance of power. She said that BSP was the only party which was a source of hope for crores of poor people, labourers, Dalits, backwards and religious minorities.
Referring to the damage caused by floods in the south Indian states, Mayawati said that the party would help the poor and the needy people in every possible manner.
