Maya to sell development plank in UP

UP chief minister and BSP supremo Mayawati is gearing up to the
prospect of the RLD and Congress coming together for the 2012 state
Assembly elections and is seeking to sell the development plank in the
western UP region to consolidate non-jat voters in favour of her
party.

Ms Mayawati will be setting off on a whirlwind tour of the western UP
to impress upon the people benefits of three new districts in the
region. The BSP supremo is scheduled to visit Hapur, Shaymli and
Sambhal, all three new districts, on Wednesday to drive home the point
that the government would be much nearer to them than earlier.
The BSP chief is reportedly keenly watching political fallout of the
Congress and RLD striking a seat adjustment for the Uttar Pradesh
Assembly elections. The BSP had won a large number of Assembly seats
from the western UP in the 2007 Assembly elections by winning support
of the dalits and Muslims.
However, BSP functionaries are examining prospects of the Muslim-jat
consolidation in favour of the RLD-Congress combine after a tie up.
The party leaders are also looking into the likely impact of the
padyatra of Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi in the western UP
and prospects of the land acquisition controversy becoming an election
issue.
"The BSP is banking on the core support base (dalits) in the region.
The state government under the leadership of Ms Mayawati has taken
several initiatives to make administrative responsive to the needs of
the people along with setting up a dedicated police set up
specifically for the region," said a BSP functionary.
The party leaders said that the BSP supremo would be reaching out to
people in the region more frequently to avert any pitfalls of the
likely Congress-RLD electoral tie up.
