real reason is MAYA KNOWS PAPPU IS AN ABSOLUTE UNLUCKY LOOSER WHICH CANNOT BE CHANGED BY ANY NUMBER OF TEMPLE HOPPING OR A JANEU, NOR ANY SAROWAR YATRA WILL CHANGE HIS LUCK, MAYA’S ASTROLOGER HAD ALREADY WARNED HER ABOUT AND MAYA NO MORE WANTS RISK HER ENTIRE FUTURE! WHO WOULD KNOWINGLY?
Mayavathi will be left with no one to trust her.Don’t forget that the understanding in the by elections came from below, on the ordinary workers/ followers of both parties. Mayavathi had to accept the reality and her followers worked for SP candidates.By her arrogance she may be able to facilitate return of BJP but she will achieve nothing for her, more than that, she will be a loser in the end.it will be worse than 2014 0r 2017
I am from UP and the cadre of BSP does what she orders and her orders are iron clad at least for her core constituency. It could have come from decades of trust they have put in her and Kanshiram who inspite of going with every party under the sun maintained the interest of Dalits intact. Even in the case of byelections it was not the ordinary workers but her “command” on the eve of elections which swinged the votes (it is not a myth that her votes transfer easily and with full force, although reverse is always doubtful).
The Print is upper caste mindset newsprint & biased against Bahujan leaders. Only reason alliance didn’t happen because Congress was unwilling to give respectable seats to BSP i.e. 40/230 seats from Madhya Paradesh, 15/70 in Ch & 30/200 seats in Raj. Is this too much that Congress can’t give to its partner.
“Upper Caste” Congress not giving the fair share of seats to “Dalit/Bahujan” BSP is not selfish? Congress has fallen much more than BSP in recent years, from a party which ruled for 70 years and in almost all the states is now only in one state on it’s own. BSP can join hands with SP but Congress can not join hands with AAP, it shows how much on the high ground Congress sits. A Dalit leader asking for more number of seats is selfish, how dare she ask more seats! Doesn’t she knows only the Dalits,Adivasis and women are to give sacrifices not Janeu-dhari Brahmins!! How silly and selfish of her.
