Mayawati calls for capturing power in Delhi
June 26th, 2010 - 1:07 am ICT by IANS
Lucknow, June 25 (IANS) Delhi appears to be the next target of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati, who Friday called for capturing power in the national capital.
Addressing a meeting of her party activists from Delhi and Uttarakhand at her official residence here, Mayawati said that millions of people from Uttar Pradesh have moved to Delhi in search of employment, but alleged they continue to receive step-motherly treatment at the hands of successive governments.
“That is the reason we need to strengthen our party base in the national capital so that we can form a BSP government there and ensure that the Uttar Pradesh’s population gets its due,” she said.
The BSP supremo also chalked out a strategy to broaden the BSP base in Delhi and urged her party men to follow her guidelines.
She gave similar instructions to her party leaders from Uttarakhand where her party has minimal presence, largely on account of a very low Dalit population in the hill state.
On the other hand, there was much more scope for BSP to spread its wings in Delhi among the large Dalit population and where Mayawati herself grew up.
