BSP MPs deserting the party ahead of general elections is hardly a surprise. Mayawati’s irrational decision to contest alone has made it a lame duck. She’s ceded much of BSP’s support base to BJP. 40 years after Kanshi Ram founded it, BSP has squandered the legacy. Mayawati’s indifference is puzzling.
