Mayawati is stepping up to fulfill PM's ambition

Another strong claimant of the Prime Minister has appeared in the General Assembly of the opposition in 2019. It is BSP chief Mayawati.
Another strong claimant of the Prime Minister has appeared in the General Assembly of the opposition in 2019. It is BSP chief Mayawati. In the first conference of party workers to prepare for the Lok Sabha elections, newly appointed National Coordinator Veer Singh and Jai Prakash Singh in Lucknow yesterday said that the time has come for her to become the prime minister of Bahnaji. These leaders said that Mayawati has emerged as a powerful leader after the formation of Kumaraswamy in Karnataka in Karnataka. He is the only leader who can stop Modi's victory chariot. Jaiprakash Singh went a step further. He said that Rahul Gandhi will never succeed in politics. While making personal remarks, he said that Rahul Gandhi does not look like his father but rather like Sonia Gandhi, who is a foreigner. That's why they will never be able to become PM.

However, his remarks led to Mayawati's untimely demise. He removed Jaiprakash Singh from both the National Coordinator and the National Vice President this morning. He said that personal remarks against the highest national leaders of opposition parties are against BSP's culture. He also said that in the other states of the country including the UP, no one else spoke of the party Hikaman except about the alliance.
It is interesting that Mayawati is silent on Jayaprakash Singh's statement in which he is calling him the prime minister's claimant. Mayawati's ambition to become a PM is not a secret. In 2008, he had said that if the Dalit's daughter can become the Chief Minister of the country's largest and most populous state then why can not that daughter of Dalit become the Prime Minister? It is different from the fact that in the next Lok Sabha elections, in 2009, his party won 20 seats, whereas in the last Lok Sabha elections, he did not get a single seat. But now things have changed. There is a discussion of the General Body of SP-BSP-Congress-RLD. With these parties coming together, the BJP has lost three important Lok Sabha constituencies of Gorakhpur-Phulpur-Kairana, but it is still suspense on how the seats will be split. However, Akhilesh Yadav has said that he is ready to give a major role to the BSP to remove Modi. But Mayawati's views are also outside of UP. He knows that more and more parties should be together to fulfill the ambition of becoming the Prime Minister. Janata Dal Secular in Karnataka opened the way for them. Now it wants to repeat this in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan.
On the other hand, Congress is desperate to defeat BJP in all these three states, but Mayawati says that if the agreement is to be made, then all seats in the states will be divided. They have also said that alliance will be held only after getting honorable seats. The Congress wants to go with the BSP in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, but in Rajasthan, its mind is currently fighting alone. Meanwhile, Mayawati met Ajit Jogi. This is uncomfortable with the Congress as there is no difference between the Congress between Chhattisgarh and the BJP. BJP will have the advantage of sharing anti-BJP votes.

In Chhattisgarh, BJP got more than 75 per cent of the votes in Congress in 2013 and 1.7 per cent in 2008. While the BSP got 4.27 in 2013 and 6.11 percent votes in 2008. This math explains how Chhattisgarh will be beneficial for the Congress along with the BSP, while coming along with the BSP in Madhya Pradesh will strengthen the Congress. In 2013, the BSP won four seats and voted 6.29 percent. In the 2008 assembly elections, the BSP got about nine percent of the votes. In 2013, the Congress got 8% from BJP and five percent less in 2008. Put two and two maths, it is clear that coming together with the BSP and Congress, BJP's stronghold of Madhya Pradesh can collapse but Mayawati knows this. That is why they are talking about Rajasthan and also respectable seats.

The talk goes back to UP only where the Congress won only two seats, how many seats will the Congress take from SP-BSP and from here itself the same question comes back to the question of who will be the leader of the alliance, because Mayawati or Rahul, It depends on how many seats are available
