[Mancode]

Mayawati doing tactic understanding with bjp in fear of CBI cases and trying to finish up cong and SP by fielding as many M's and changing strong candidates in favour of BJp and placing candidates of caste of opposition candidates to split opposition vote example of srikala reddy (w/o dhanunjaya Singh) in jaunpur mp seat is clear example...changsd her.and given ticket to same yadav candidate who is unknown there ...to split SP vote...

Isari BSP party e duck out ayela undhi isari kuda....

Mayawati is aiming towards retirement.....i guess....

I personally chose Mayawati over akhilesh as far UP opposition is concerned ,she is tough on crime ....and less Mafia elements in party than SP..., local administration used to work ..at district level ...

Her retirement countdown started when she started building her own statues across the state with govt money.. 

She didn’t realize the importance of her party and ideology and self destructed herself and her party and the ideology as well..

What was she thinking there? I thought the worst is when politicians spend money to build statues of their parents or close relatives. At least they can conveniently deny by listing their good achievements.

Is Mayawati's Mid-Election Purge of Nephew, Candidates Aimed at Rescuing BJP?Omar Rashid

May 09, 2024 Since Mayawati rarely meets journalists, and nobody in the party is authorised to explain her decisions publicly, speculation is rife over the likely reason behind her latest flip.

The answer to Mayawati’s sudden decision to demote her nephew could lie in the BSP’s strategy in the 2024 election, where the party has changed candidates on more than a dozen occasions, often under dubious circumstances. The change of candidates in Jaunpur and Basti in East UP is a case in point. That the BSP often comes to the rescue of the ruling BJP has gained weight over the years after the party openly supported the BJP in at least two Rajya Sabha elections, including the one held earlier this year.  Questions were also raised over Mayawati’s motivations after she abruptly broke off her alliance with the SP after the 2019 election despite gaining the most out of it, winning 10 seats as against the SP’s five. In 2014, the BSP had failed to open its score.

The battle in Jaunpur shot into the limelight after the BSP decided to field zilla panchayat president Shrikala Singh, wife of convicted former MP Dhananjay Singh, as its candidate. Shrikala’s entry made matters tough for the BJP candidate Kripa Shankar Singh as both belong to the Thakur community. Dhananjay Singh, through his wife, was bound to hurt the BJP through his clout among the Thakurs in Jaunpur. Shrikala’s candidature also made life a bit easier for the Samajwadi Party candidate Babu Singh Kushwaha, an OBC. The matter got more intense after the Allahabad High Court decided to grant Dhananjay bail and released him from jail right in time for campaigning.

The battle in Jaunpur shot into the limelight after the BSP decided to field zilla panchayat president Shrikala Singh, wife of convicted former MP Dhananjay Singh, as its candidate. Shrikala’s entry made matters tough for the BJP candidate Kripa Shankar Singh as both belong to the Thakur community. Dhananjay Singh, through his wife, was bound to hurt the BJP through his clout among the Thakurs in Jaunpur. Shrikala’s candidature also made life a bit easier for the Samajwadi Party candidate Babu Singh Kushwaha, an OBC. The matter got more intense after the Allahabad High Court decided to grant Dhananjay bail and released him from jail right in time for campaigning.

However, at the last moment, Mayawati replaced Shrikala Singh with sitting MP Shyam Singh Yadav, who would now, rather than denting the BJP, pose a threat to the SP, which relies heavily on support of the Yadav community, who are a dominant political force in Jaunpur.

 

The BSP’s Varanasi division coordinator Ghanshyam Chandra Kharwar said Shrikala Singh refused to contest and backed out due to “some pressure” faced by her husband, who is known as a Thakur muscleman leader. “The BSP did not cut her ticket. She refused to contest,” said Kharwar, stressing that the party had finalised Shrikala’s ticket and named a new candidate only after she withdrew.

 

Dhananjay Singh, however, termed this as false. He said that the BSP replaced his wife and was spreading lies to defend itself for its decision. There was no “pressure” on him, Singh said, while talking to reporters.

 

Singh accused the BSP of trying to mislead people and defame him. He even went to the extent to speculate that the BSP might have named his wife as candidate and then suddenly dropped her as part of a political ploy.

 

“It must be their working style,” said Singh, as he pointed out that the BSP had also changed its candidates in other important constituencies.

 

He was right. In the same list featuring along with Shyam Singh Yadav’s name was Lavkush Patel, who was declared candidate in Basti in place of Daya Shankar Mishra, a Brahmin. What’s notable is that the BJP’s sitting MP Harish Dwivedi is a Brahmin while the BSP’s new candidate is an OBC Kurmi, just like the SP’s candidate Ram Prasad Chaudhary. The new equation is likely to hurt the Opposition alliance, with the BSP cutting into its Kurmi votes.

 BSP has also changed its candidates in other important seats, including Mainpuri, Azamgarh, Mathura, Firozabad, Varanasi and Amethi. In Mainpuri, where SP president Akhilesh Yadav’s wife Dimple Yadav contested, the BSP replaced its Shakya candidate Gulshan Dev Shakya with a Yadav, Shiv Prasad Yadav, possibly cutting into the SP’s core voter base.

 

In Azamgarh, the BSP had fielded a Rajbhar, Bhim Rajbhar, its former state president. This was likely to hurt the BJP as Rajbhars are more inclined to support the BJP. But the BSP changed the candidate in Azamgarh, replacing Rajbhar with a Muslim, Mashud Ahmad, in what could make matters potentially tricky for the SP’s Dharmendra Yadav, Akhilesh’s cousin, who is hoping for a consolidation of Yadavs and Muslims. In Firozabad, where another Yadav family candidate Akshay Yadav contested, the BSP replaced a Hindu candidate with a Muslim, Chaudhary Basheer. In Varanasi against Narendra Modi, the BSP changed its candidate thrice, eventually settling on the original choice Athar Jamal Lari, a Muslim. In Amethi, where the Congress’ KL Sharma is contesting, the BSP had fielded Ravi Prakash Maurya but replaced him with another candidate Nanhe Singh Chauhan only a day later. The BSP has fielded a Yadav, Thakur Prasad Yadav, against Rahul Gandhi in Rae Bareli, where the Congress leader would heavily depend on the support of the SP’s core vote base.

 

The BSP has fielded at least 20 Muslims this time. UP has 80 seats. The BSP’s Muslim candidates include Qamar Hayat Ansari, who has been fielded against the SP’s senior OBC leader and former Mayawati-aide Lalji Verma in Ambedkar Nagar, and Muslim Khan, who contested against Akhilesh’s cousin Aditya Yadav in Budaun, which has a decent population of Muslims.

 

With the election moving east, away from the Jatav stronghold areas of the BSP in the west, to the Yadav-dominated seats, Akhilesh Yadav has appealed Bahujan Samaj voters to not waste their vote on the BSP, accusing it of helping the BJP, “either openly or behind the sc

enes.”

 

 

 

 

She is cutting votes of opposition in UP by replacing candidates and putting up caste of same candidate as of opposition....and therefore making them lose...

And putting up more Muslim candidates ....

Tacit understanding with BJP ...
