“I appeal to the party in-charge to take special care while selecting the party candidates so that if the government is formed, strict action will be taken against such elements,” said BSP chief Mayawati while dropping a jailed MP as candidate.
Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Friday dropped jailed party MLA Mukhtar Ansari as a candidate for the upcoming assembly elections in the state, and said that the BSP will not field strongmen and mafia in the 2022 polls.
The gangster-turned-politician was replaced with party’s UP chief, Bhim Rajbhar, from Mau.
In a series of tweets, Mayawati said on Friday morning, “The BSP’s efforts in the upcoming UP assembly general election will be to ensure that no strongmen or mafia etc contest from the party. In view of this, the name of Bhim Rajbhar, BSP State President of UP has been finalised, instead of Mukhtar Ansari from Mau Vidhan Sabha seat of Azamgarh Mandal.”
“I appeal to the party in-charge to take special care while selecting the party candidates so that if the government is formed, strict action will be taken against such elements. There is no problem in taking action,” she added.
3. बीएसपी का संकल्प ’कानून द्वारा कानून का राज’ के साथ ही यूपी की तस्वीर को भी अब बदल देने का है ताकि प्रदेश व देश ही नहीं बल्कि बच्चा-बच्चा कहे कि सरकार हो तो बहनजी की ’सर्वजन हिताय व सर्वजन सुखाय’ जैसी तथा बीएसपी जो कहती है वह करके भी दिखाती है यही पार्टी की सही पहचान भी है।

“BSP’s resolve is to change the picture of UP along with ‘rule of law by law’ so that not only the state and the country, but every child says that if there is Behen Ji’s government which actually works for ‘Sarvajan Hitay and Sarvajan Sukhay’, which is also the true identity of the party,” said the former CM of the state in her tweet.
Reacting to the BSP’s decision, Samajwadi Party Spokesperson Anurag Bhadauria said, “All the political parties have their own political strategies and accordingly they decide if they want to induct a person or not. People of UP have made up their minds that they will give their blessings to SP in 2022 polls and will uproot the BJP from the state.”
