Mayawati's BSP To Contest All 70 Seats In Delhi

BSP will fight from all 70 seats in the coming Delhi Assembly elections. The former UP CM and BSP President Mayawati has told the media today in Lucknow. "I am starting the election campaign for the Delhi Vidhan Sabha elections today... our party would contest all the 70 seats on our own," she said.

Mayawati is celebrating her 59th birthday today as the 'People's Welfare Day'.Criticizing the BJP she said that after misleading the people of the nation with their achche din slogan, the party will now try to cajole the Delhi folks.



"Dalits, backward castes, and others should know that central government, without making arrangement of quotas in the private sector, have started giving important works to the private sector belonging to capitalists, resulting in these sections getting very little benefit of reservation", she said.

She was equally vitriolic towards AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal, she said, "he has gone a step ahead of BJP and is the votary of ending reservation and has also given statements in this direction."

She further said, "With BJP and AAP at the helm, the minorities, including poor muslims as well as poor among the upper castes, would not get their rightful place in education and jobs."

The BSP could not manage to get a single seat in the previous assembly elections in 2013. The Party was completely wiped out in the general elections in 2014, it could not win a seat in UP, which is its stronghold.

The Delhi assembly elections will be held on 7 February and the results will come out on 10 February.

Willing To Pay 51 Cr To Those Who Wreak Havoc In Charlie Hebdo Office: Haji Yaqoob Qureshi

Senior BSP leader Haji Yaqoob Qureshi has said that he is willing to give INR 51 Crores to the terrorists who bombed the office of Charlie Hebdo yesterday, the butchers killed 12 including two cops and 4 of the most famous cartoonists of France.

“Rasul ke ashiq unhe saza de dete hai (lovers of the religion punish the culprits)," the former UP minister told the media. He was reacting to the liberal clerics' view that real Islam has no place for violence.  

“Those who dare insult Prophet Mohammed deserve death and there is no need to initiate legal procedure against them.” The leader said that the Prophet only taught the lessons of love and peace.

Mr Qureshi's remark, in 2006, about rewarding the person with 51 crore rupees who would kill the Danish cartoonist who had created the controversial cartoon of Prophet Mohammed, brought him to the headlines. He made this offer at a public rally in Meerut district of the state.

His current remarks will surely make the police raise the eyebrows. Additional DGP of Uttar Pradesh Mukul Goel said, “We can initiate action against him only after examining his statement under the purview of law.”

The French magazine came in the limelight in the year 2006 when it republished the cartoons of Prophet Mohammed that had originally appeared in a Danish newspaper.

As far as Mr Qureshi is concerned, he is not new to controversy.
