Kanshi Ram's brother vows to fight Mayawati
Piyush Srivastava | Lucknow, March 3, 2011 | Updated 09:02 IST
Dalbara Singh, younger brother of late Kanshi Ram, has announced that
his Bahujan Sangharsh Party would expose the Uttar Pradesh chief
minister and her Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
Singh floated his party two years ago and was in the wilderness. But
now he believes that the Dalits are expecting him to overthrow
Mayawati.
"I wake up every morning with a sense of guilt that I am sitting idle
when someone is destroying the dreams of my brother. He was a
visionary who wanted to liberate the Dalits from the clutches of
capitalists and caste forces.
Mayawati, who is dishonest, presented herself before my brother as
honest. He was a simple man who couldn't realise that he was promoting
a very corrupt leader. She held him captive during his last days and
forcefully took over the BSP. I cannot sit silent anymore. So my party
will field candidates against her BSP in 2012," Singh said.
Leaders of Mayawati's BSP believe that he has been created by her
rivals, particularly by the Samajwadi Party.
Singh said he founded Kanshi Ram Bachao Sangharsh Samiti in 2006 which
was converted into BSP in October 2009. Its first state- level
convention will be held at Gangoh in Saharanpur on March 15.
For the record, Singh registered a complaint with the Tughlak Road
police station in New Delhi in October 2006 alleging that Mayawati had
conspired to kill Kanshi Ram.
The BSP had rubbished the allegations, saying the founder of the party
had said he had nothing to do with his family members.
BSP's state president Swami Prasad Maurya said the Congress and the
Samajwadi Party were trying to mislead the masses by promoting such
political forces.
