By-polls result a reaffirmation of people's faith: Mayawati

Atiq Khan Share
The president of Bahujan Samaj Party and the Uttar Pradesh Chief
Minister, Mayawati dubbed her party's sweep in the Assembly
by-elections as a reiteration of the people's faith in the policy of
"sarvjan hitaya, sarvjan sukhaya."

She added that the by-poll results had exposed the Opposition parties,
who had unleashed a malicious propaganda against her Government.

Targeting the Samajwadi Party, the BSP president said in a press
release that the negative politics had led it to lose its traditional
Bhartana and Etawah seats. Ms. Mayawati slammed her bete noire and SP
president, Mulayam Singh and said the Congress victory in Firozabad
was a manifestation of the people's anger against dynastic politics
pursued by him.

Ms. Mayawati noted that in the 2007 UP Assembly elections, the BSP had
won only the Lalitpur seat, but in the recent by-elections the party
added eight new seats to its tally in the State Assembly. The BSP
wrested Bhartana, Powayan, Isauli, Hainser Bazar and Etawah from
Samajwadi Party and Padrauna and Jhansi from the Congress. The BSP
also triumphed in Rari, which was won by the party's MP from Jaunpur,
Dhananjay Singh on a Janata Dal ( United ) ticket in the 2007 Assembly
elections.

The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister waxed eloquent that the BSP won in
Jhansi and Padrauna, which were represented in the Vidhan Sabha by two
Central Ministers, Pradeep Jain and RPN Singh. She claimed that the
BSP would have won from Lucknow West had the BJP not diverted its vote
to the Congress.

Stating that the by-polls had exposed the Opposition's conspiracy
against her, Ms. Mayawati said the BSP cadres had been told about the
designs of the Congress, SP and the BJP before the by-elections. She
said the verdict had cut short the Opposition design to upstage her.
