Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati
UP elections: I hold master key to power, thunders Mayawati
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief called upon SC/STs along with the Sarvajan Samaj to vote for her if they wanted a Scheduled Caste to remain at the helm of affairs. "If you vote for the Congress, all the poor and unemployed would have to go to other states to earn their livelihood."
A victory of the Samajwadi Party in the ongoing assembly elections would only usher in "goonda, badmash and mafia-run jungle raj", she warned. "The state under BSP has been free of communal tensions and people have lived in amity," she said, referring to the five years since 2007 when the BSP took power on its own.
She accused the Congress-led central government of creating hurdles in Uttar Pradesh's development.
"The high court benches in Meerut and Agra have to be cleared by the centre. Many of our financial problems are the result of centre's lack of support," Mayawati charged.
"If you want a Scheduled Caste ki beti (SC's daughter) as your chief minister again, vote for the BSP."
And she added to thunderous applause: "Today I hold the master key to power."
Mayawati said the BSP did not believe in election manifestos.
She warned that small shopkeepers and businessmen would be without work if the Congress allowed foreign direct investment in retail sector.
Chief Minister and BSP Supremo Mayawati has alleged that the Congress is responsible for backwardness of UP. She wondered how the party could change the face of the state in five years, when it had done nothing during its long rule at the Centre. Most of the time, it was the Nehru-Gandhi family which had ruled the country, she said adding, "When they could not do anything during this period, how can they develop the state in five years."
Mayawati confident of winning more seats
- Mayawati calls Ajit Singh opportunist
Mayawati has targeted Rashtriya Lok Dal president Chaudhury Ajit Singh and said that he believed in the politics of opportunity.
LUCKNOW: Addressing an election rally here on Thursday, chief minister Mayawati stated that Rashtriya Lok Dal president Chaudhury Ajit Singh believed in the politics of opportunity. Using the same tool, she said, he always stays close to power quarters. In this way, he neglected the interest of the farmers whom Ajit Singh claims to represent. "He showed the dream of Harit Pradesh but has failed to bring development in the area," she said adding that the party is out to cheat the people once again which stands proved in their alliance with the Congress Party.
The rally was held in Baghpat and Panchsheelnagar. Targetting the congress Party she said, "Poverty, inflation and unemployment have reached their maximum under the reign of Congress at the center. It is also responsible for poor state of affairs in UP where they ruled for 40 years." Stating that Congress party's policy was chiefly responsible for problems being faced by the common man she said it was essential to keep them away from power. Citing the example of UPA's
policy for foreign direct investment, "the FDI would make survival of small-scale industries, businessmen and entrepreneurs' difficult."
Mayawati said that BSP was the only party which made 'serious' efforts to bring real development of Western UP. However, many projects failed because of the centre held back a long due Rs 80,000 crore development package for the state. Accusing the Congress of being corrupt, Mayawati said the party was involved in scams worth Rs.20 lakh crore. Enumerating another achievement, she said that UP government paid cane purchase price which was two times of what the other states paid. She added that introduction of a new land acquisition policy was also yet another important decision taken by her government to ensure the well being of the farmers. She also lauded herself for creating more districts and proposing division of UP into smaller states to promote faster growth.
The CM alleged that Samajwadi Party (SP) was a party of goons. "During their rule, the poor were oppressed and women were afraid to come out of their houses after dark," she said. Describing the BJP as a communal party, Mayawati said her government deserved credit for maintaining law and order in the wake of the high court verdict on the Babri Masjid issue. She didn't even spare the Election Commission. She alleged the poll panel was biased towards the Congress. This becameapparent from its order to cover the elephants - the symbol of the BSP, she alleged. The symbols of all other parties were spared, she said.
- One percent of the total budget of UP was spent for creating history for SC/ST/ OBC icons by build ing monuments, statues and parks, while crores of money are spent on non SC/ST/OBC personals' monuments, statues and parks all over the country and also for their maintanance. SP should question Congress and BJP for this.
Mayawati blamed all the opposition parties for neglecting the Bundelkhand region. She said that the BSP government had demanded a package of Rs 80,000 crore from the Centre for all-round development of the region, but the latter did not sanction even a single paisa. In this package an amount of Rs 11,000 crore were for the construction of roads, development of health facilities and improving agriculture in Bundelkhand region, she added.
"Whatever the Congress leaders are saying about development of Bundelkhand region is nothing but a 'political drama'. This is a fact that Bundelkhand is a backward. It remained backward because the Congress party, which ruled the state for more than four decades, did nothing for its development and now its leaders are shedding crocodile tears over the plight of its inhabitants," she alleged. The BSP government with its meagre resources and without getting any financial assistance from the Centre tried to remove backward of Bundelkhand, she claimed.
Blaming the Congress for starting 'corruption culture' in the country, the BSP chief has alleged that the maximum black money in foreign banks was that of Congress leaders.
Chief minister Mayawati on Saturday wrote a letter to the prime minister regarding release of Centre's share under Right to Education Act.
It was pointed out in the letter that the ministry of Union HRD had approved Rs 9,408.05 crore as annual scheme for 'Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan' for 2011-12. Out of the Centre's share is about 4,969.05 crore, but only Rs 2,452.68 crore has so far been made available to the state.
Centre is giving stepmotherly treatment to the BSP government in UP. "The Centre is not making available funds to the state. The Centre's share for repair and strengthening of national highways to other states has already been released by the UPA government, but the same have not been made available to the UP government till date. Similarly, the centre has not released the amount for completing several ambitious schemes of the BSP government.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati today accused the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre of "starving the state of much needed central funds" for different development projects.
Mayawati said had the centre conceded to the state government's repeated pleas for funds, the state of UP would have been marching ahead in different fields.
Refuting the allegation of corruption against her party's government in Uttar Pradesh, the Chief Minister said, "in the last Assembly elections, a number of infiltrators had managed to sneak into our party and get elected.
"Some of them became ministers. When we detected their wrong doings we immediately removed them from their respective posts", she said.
Taking a dig at the Bhartiya Janata Party, Mayawati said, "When we removed certain corrupt elements from our party, other parties who championed the cause of honesty accepted them with open arms".
Mayawati said, "the Bhartiya Janata Party has no moral right to speak of corruption after the track record of their party's government in Karnataka has come before the country.
The track record of the NDA government which ruled in the centre for about seven years also reflects the BJP's fickle commitment to the cause of fighting corruption", she said.
Hitting out at the UPA government, the Chief Minister said, "the UPA government's numerous scandals just in the past three years should expose the true face of the Congress Party on the issue of corruption".
Referring to the reservation issue and the Congress Party's "ambivalent stand" on the matter, the Chief Minister said, "by indiscriminately adding other groups to the OBC list, the Congress Party is depriving the existing beneficiaries in the quota list".
The Chief Minister said, "By promising 9 per cent reservation to Muslims in government jobs, the Congress Party is trying to trick both the Muslims and the other OBC groups who are already in the quota ambit".
- BSP Govt provides hot meals for school children through computerised free sms service to the parents for feedback.Now this is followed through out the country.
It is the Congress, BJP and SP that is dividing the people in the name of Caste and religion which was united by BSP through Sarvajan Hithay Sarvajan Sukhay i.e., for peace, welfare and happiness of the entire people policy for equality, social transformation and economic emancipation. Whereas Congress, BJP and SP never talk about equality, bu believe in divide and rule policy.
The Chief Minister said that the state has done more for farmers during the past five years than had ever been done by governments who claimed to champion the cause of the farmers.
She cited the example of "doubling of the minimum purchase price for sugarcane in the state" during her tenure.
The Chief Minister said that her party was determined to maintain communal peace and harmony in the state. This was reflected by the manner in which her government succeeded in maintaining peace in Uttar Pradesh in the aftermath of the declaration of the High Court case on the explosive Babri Masjid-Ram Janambhhomi Issue.
Referring to the slow pace of development in some sectors in the state, she said, "Our target is to provide 24-hour electricity per day if we are given further chance to serve the state and if the Centre cooperates with us".
She said that the Centre had been very stingy in releasing funds for the state and "whatever development has taken place in UP during the past five years has been achieved with our own meagre resources and in some cases with the help of private sector".
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Monday attacked the Congress on the issue of corruption asking why the party was not uttering a single word on graft and price rise.
"The Congress is not uttering a word on corruption and price rise in its regime. If you all made a mistake while exercising franchise, you all have to face life of insult and hooliganism," she said while addressing an election meeting.
Attacking the Congress for defaming her government on the issue of corruption, Mayawati alleged 62 scams of Rs 20 lakh crore took place in the Congress-led government at the Centre.But a scam worth thousands of crores like 2G is different.
Congress's support was scattered, organization weak. This wouldn't help the party.Congress spoilt it by bringing in Muslim quota and going back to caste and community politics
Promising to provide 24-hour electricity, Mayawati said contrary to Oppositions' claim, BSP would get absolute majority in the state.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati today rubbished media surveys that projected BSP to be in bad position in the Assembly polls and reminded voters that her party had got majority in 2007 despite similar predictions.
"I want to tell the people that the surveys being shown on TV channels
and in the media are showing BSP winning only a few seats. They should
not be misled by these as in the 2007 polls too, BSP was not shown in surveys, yet we formed government with absolute majority," the BSP supremo said.
At an election rally here, she said, "We will prove all such claims by
the media as wrong this time as well and achieve absolute majority," he said.
"When the Election Commission ordered draping of statues of elephants in the state, the media kept showing it for 15 days thinking that we will get negative publicity. Instead, we got very good publicity free of cost," she said.
More than anything else, this has helped in the party's symbol being recognised all over the country, she said.
A BSP worker taunts media: "Have you seen such support for any leader? But you will write about Rahul Gandhi, not her."
Referring to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remark that he had a lot of respect for Kanshi Ram, she posed, "Where did all this go when he died and the central government did not even declare a holiday. Our community will never forgive the Centre for this."
She said that in spite of "limited resources" from the Centre, her government had helped the SC/ST, backward and very backward sections to progress. Congress is bracing for the possibility of defeat in Uttar Pradesh.
Congress and Rahul Gandhi are getting in ahead of the game to reposition the narrative since the Congress will fare considerably worse than expected.
He appeared to concede that with such a performance – that will come about – will not be enough for the Congresss to secure a large enough chunk of Assembly seats.
According to Rahul Gandhi, the electoral arithmetic of UP dictate that only when a party secures in excess of 20 percent of the popular vote will it translate into substantial representation in terms of Assembly seats.
He now argues that his effort is to revive the Congress in UP over eight to 10 years.
Congress will fare badly and it will be construed as a personal defeat for Rahul Gandhi, who has invested far more of his time and energy in this campaign than any central-level Congress leader has in any previous elections in UP. Doubts will increasingly be raised about his ability to be a "game-changer" for the party.
Just as important, a poor verdict for the Congress in UP will render the Manmohan Singh government even more of a lame duck than it is currently. Mayawati said the Election Commission had hurt the feelings of SC/STs by ordering the covering up of elephant statues across Uttar Pradesh because the animal was the election symbol of her party. And in a mocking tone, she thanked the media for giving the elephants and her party so much publicity for free. Ask people why I am confident, says Mayawati
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati has claimed that her government has done more for the state than the Congress, the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) put together.
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo has said that she is asking for votes in the assembly elections on the issue of development.

Won't people see the contradiction between his promise of political morality and the tainted Congress-led UPA government at the centre? Won't that Rahul's team in UP isn't exactly lily white or has an edifying record?
The Hand of Congress was used to swindle lakhs of crores of rupees meant for Aam Aadhmi through taking bribes and depositing the black money in Foreign Banks with the very same hand . This hand has stopped the progress of this country. This hand takes money from the rich. Buy votes from the poor and shows ta..ta...  to help the TATAs and Birlas. Youth are rubbing ganja in this very hand because of frustration of not getting enough jobs.
- BSP distributed scholarship to all sections of studeents including Muslims in a most scientific way in the beginning of their classes.
- The Yadav People in in the SP stronghold wanted to support BSP because the community was angry with Mualayam Singh Yadav for not fulfilling his promise of providing jobs.Sarvajan Samaj have come out in large numbers to vote for BSP which had made politics sacred with highly promising best and meritoripus governanace fo UP CM Ms Mayawati.
Neither the Congress nor the BJP nor the SP that ruled UP for 40 years but never provide any reservation to Muslims. Now for the sake of votes they are making bogus promises. -

These are some of the VIEWS Papers and Idea medias (Black and blind paid views reporters/scribes/journalists searching for black cat in a dark room which is not there) are publishing false and bogus views to please Congress, BJP, SP bosses forgetting that there are educated people belonging to sarvajan samaj including SC/ST/OBC/Minorities/Poor upper caste who have already stoped buying these views. Their comments are not published agsinst their views. As long as they are paid they are not bothered about their sales as they are paid by their bosses. They are forgetting that there is a very powerful media in this country. Their prediction that Ms Mayawati will get 303 seats will come true just like in 2007 where the predictions of the above views papers and the ideas of the medias failed.

Research & Practice UNIVERSITY & BUDDHIST GOOD NEWS LETTER Through
:http://sarvajan.ambedkar.org Poll managers are rapidly coming to the conclusion that the BSP is gaining 303 seats. Party supremo Mayawati, is still going to emerge as the number one player in UP, with as many as 303 seats. This is because the BSP, has been exceptionally careful in the selection of candidates.
Mayawati has denied tickets to as many as 100 sitting MLAs and has removed the ministers perceived to be corrupt. While the Congress may be seen to be 'appeasing' the Muslims, the fact is that the BSP has given tickets to the maximum number of Muslim candidates.
UP is the largest producer of cane in the country and the sugar industry is one of the mainstays of the state's economy. But cane farmers have always grappled with issues like-getting their cane fields surveyed, selling their produce to mills, correct and timely measurement of cane, prompt payment etc.
There was lack of transparency at each level and farmers at times illiterate were taken for a ride. Millers also suffered at times, as due to these hassles many farmers had started shunning cane cultivation or used to sell it to the local jaggery or 'khandsari' units leading to shortage of cane for mills.
"We figured that most farmers have a mobile phone or atleast have access to it with telecom services reaching remotest parts of the state. We thought of harnessing the mobile phone and for those who do not have a mobile or are illiterate and cannot read SMSes incorporated an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) feature" said Cane Commissioner Kamran Rizvi.
As part of the project a model website was developed and adopted by all 116 operational sugar mills in the state. A password protected webpage for each of the 30 lakh odd farmers was developed.
The website is updated on time 24x7 and SMS sent out to individual farmers as soon as any transaction is done with them. All 7,000 cane purchase centres were equipped with Hand Held Computers to complete the system.
The system helps farmer gets instantaneous updates right from the start of the cane farming season till he receives payments for his produce. The SIS informs all farmers by sending individual SMS when the mills start operations in their area and begin buying cane.
Mills only buy cane in installments and according to the date allotted to an individual farmers, so that they do not have excess stock and a situation where cane is left drying in the open leading to low recovery of sugar.
