Electoral success key to counter opponents of Kanshi Ram: Mayawati

LUCKNOW: BSP president Mayawati on Wednesday paid tributes to party founder Kanshi Ram on his birth anniversary, and called for giving a befitting reply to his detractors by obtaining the "master key" of electoral success.
The BSP supremo, who paid floral tributes to Kanshi Ram at the party office early morning, charged that Kanshi Ram and his followers have been subjected to contempt.
In a series of tweets in Hindi, Mayawati said, "Tributes to Kanshi Ram, who gave strength and momentum to the self respect movement of the most revered Babasaheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar by making the deprived and exploited 'bahujan samaj' a political force."

The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said the BSP movement was strengthened by him on the ground and the party government formed four times in the state during which crores of people were given benefits leading to their social transformation and economic emancipation
However, the process of "neglect, contempt and conspiracy" against the followers of Kanshi Ram by his opponents continues even today and a proper answer to it needs to be given by getting the master key of electoral success and power, the BSP president added.
