Speaking about the results of the Haryana elections the BSP Chief said that the BSP-INLD alliance had failed to muster Jat support for BSP candidates.

On 10 October 1998, Kanshiram addressed the First World Dalit Convention in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he spoke about the impossibility of caste annihilation. 'Caste is the creation of some people. And it is created with a purpose. That purpose still remains.'

Bahujan movement founder Kanshiram paid special attention to mentoring women leaders. But that rich history has now shrunk into the image of Mayawati.

Winning Dalits over won’t be easy. But the good news for Akhilesh Yadav is that some of them are becoming disenchanted with Mayawati’s politics.

With Digital Dalit asserting herself politically, Kanshiram finds an audience.
