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.

"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.

This election is being seen as a bilateral fight to get to supremacy in the country capital between a resurgent BJP, which has recently won four states back-to-back, and AAP, which is banking on the charisma of Arvind Kejriwal.

In 2013 elections no single party could garner a clear-cut majority. BJP, though, emerged as the single largest party, but it could not form a government. AAP, which came second with 28 seats, formed a government with the help of Congress; Arvind Kejriwal became the seventh CM. But Kejriwal resigned after 49 days of becoming the CM following the failure to get the Jan Lokpal Bill passed. President's rule was imposed in Delhi in February 2014.


Experts are of the opinion that Congress is no where in the competition in Delhi.
