BSP wants to attract Brahmins

Lucknow, Oct 7 (UNI) Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) seems to be looking to add Brahmin vote bank to its party's core voter for the 2022 Assembly elections.
Now, it has decided to hold a campaign for them on the coming Navratri festival.The party is aiming to hold conferences in districts during the week-long Navratri festival. For the last two months, the BSP national general secretary Satish Chandra Mishra has been taking meetings of representatives from the Brahmin community from every district at his office here.
Tuesday's meeting was the 73rd of such a kind.The campaign, which seeks to attract Brahmin voters, will be spearheaded by Mr Mishra, and former minister Anant Mishra ‘Antu’, Nakul Dubey and Rangnath Mishra will be working with him, a senior BSP leader said.
According to the party, Brahmins are being neglected in the present regime of Yogi Adityanath-led Bharatiya Janata Party and the BSP wants to capitalise this sentiment.
Brahmins had wholeheartedly supported the BSP in 2007 Assembly polls and elected Mayawati as the chief minister of state. However, as per the political experts, the Brahmins thereafter shifted from the BSP.
The BSP wants a repeat of 2007, the leader said.
Ms Mayawati has also indicated her change of stance in recent months.
A few days ago, she said that Brahmins would be included in the BSP's core organisational structure as well as at the zonal level.While tweeting on Hathras incident, Ms Mayawati said, Dalits women as well as those ''belonging to other caste'' are feeling unsafe. With the choice of words, the BSP chief apparently wanted to show her sentiments of non-Dalit women as well.
Ms Mayawati had also announced construction of hospitals in the name of Brahmin icons once elected to power.
“Keeping in mind the shortcomings of the state and central governments amid Covid-19 pandemic, if BSP comes to power, we will create hospitals with modern facilities in the name of great saints,” Ms Mayawati had said.
However, the Samajwadi Party is critical of the sudden change of track of the BSP. Former minister and SP leader Abhishek Mishra said that during the BSP regime or thereafter, Ms Mayawati never cared for the Brahmins and just showing her affection for vested interests.
He claimed that the Brahmin has realised that it's only the SP party which will stand with them as both BSP and the BJP have neglected them.
According to several reports, Brahmins constitute 10 per cent of Uttar Pradesh's vote bank.
