By declaring that there would be no successor in the party ‘till her last breath’, an irrepressible Mayawati may have crushed hopes of reviving the party
Telangana BSP chief Praveen Kumar said BSP high command has given permission for alliance talks with BRS. The talks will continue till an agreement on seat-sharing is reached.
Launching her party's election campaign in Chhattisgarh, Mayawati also criticised the BJP-led Union government for ignoring OBC, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes women
Mayawati also took serious objection to bulldozer action on people, saying it is used to punish the family of a person before being convicted. Educational institutes and hospitals linked to such people are being shut down, she said. "This is an extremely anti-people step,” Mayawati said.
Mayawati called a special meeting of senior leaders and district heads of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand to review the preparations for the Lok Sabha elections
BSP chief Mayawati on Friday welcomed the passage of the women's reservation bill in both Houses of Parliament but repeated her demand for quotas for women from the scheduled castes and tribes and the Other Backward Classes within the quota.
The Centre on Tuesday introduced a constitutional amendment bill to reserve one-third of seats in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies for women, reviving a bill pending for nearly three decades because of lack of consensus among parties.
