The fourth death anniversary of Bahujan Samaj Party(BSP) founder
Kanshi Ram on October 9 will be a low key affair this time owing to
the imposition of model code of conduct due to the ongoing Panchayat
elections.
Sources confirmed that neither there would be any official programme
on the occasion nor any announcements would be made by Chief Minister
Mayawati. "On the day, the CM would visit Samatamulak Chowk and Kanshi
Ram memorial to pay floral tributes to the party founder and her
mentor,'' a party leader said.
The state government has already announced public holiday on Kanshi
Ram Jayanati.
"The party workers have been asked not to come to Lucknow. rather they
should concentrate on the Panchayat elections," the party source said.
On his third death anniversary in 2009 Chief Minister had announced
creation of a district on the name of Kanshi Ram. Besides, she
announced 158 projects worth over Rs 3000 crore on the occasion.
Kanshi Ram died on October 9, 2006 after a prolonged illness and next
year the BSP got the opportunity to achieve full majority in the UP
assembly elections and Mayawati became for Mayawati fourth time the CM
of the state.
On his first death anniversary, BSP held a massive' `Savdhan Raho
Aagey Badho' rally at Ramadevi maidan with Mayawati projecting herself
as the Prime Ministerial candidate.
On the second death anniversary in 2008, Ms Mayawati announced a dozen
big projects worth around Rs 4000 crore mostly in the name of Kanshi
Ram and other Dalit icons.
