Mayawati recently charged the political rivals of financing organisations to damage the cause of the bahujansamaj.

BSP national President Mayawati is aware of the damage done to her vote bank by Chandra Shekhar Ravan in recent years.

Mayawati leaves no opportunity to criticise Chandra Shekhar Ravan who is very respectful to her publicly.

The approach of the two leaders belonging to same caste is different in dealing with the issues related to Dalits.

Whenever there is attack on Dalits,Mayawati would either talk to news agency or tweet or issue statement.

Instead of confronting or attacking the government, Mayawati generally seems to be advising the administration.

Chandrashekhar Ravan visited twice Hathras where dalit girl was raped and succumbed to injuries. On the other hand, Mayawati or her party leaders were now here to be seen in Hathras where prominent opposition leaders from all over the country visited the family of the dalit victim.

On the other hand Chandra Shekhar Ravan of Bhim Army working for Dalits is very polite towards Mayawati and is seen confronting the government and administration.

Chandrashekhar demonstrated his strength not only in Dalits but also among general masses when he organised dharna at Jantar Mantar Delhi.

Contrary to Mayawati , Chandra Sekhar Ravan, who belongs to Saharanpur in western UP, is more aggressive and easily accessible to his supporters and ordinary workers.

Mayawati is aware of erosion in her voteāĨ¤ bank by Bhim Army, BJP, SP and Congress. The downslide of BSP vote share started from 2012 assembly polls and is still continuing. A large number of BSP leaders and workers, who helped Kashiram earlier, are no more in BSP

Prominent among those who left the party included RK Choudhry, Barkhu Ram.Verma, RK Gautam, Raj Bahadur, Swami Prasad Maurya, Nasimuddin Siddiqui, daddu Parsad and many others. They all were with Kanshiram and worked with him during formation of the party. But Mayawati threw them out of the party. The only prominent leader left with her is SC Mishra who is a prominent brahmin lawyer who is the main legal support to Mayawati and her family. SC Mishra is also brahmin face of the party.

Significantly a large number of Dalit bureaucrats who helped Kanshiram and Mayawati during the formation of BSP and later on enjoyed the proximity when she was in power/ also left her when she started playing brahmin card.

They believe that Mayawati has deviated from the philosophy and principles of Kanshiram who was instrumental for setting up BSP to bring about social change.

On the occasion of death anniversary of her mentor and founder of BSP Kanshiram on October 9, Mayawati blamed SP, BJP and Congress for causing damage to bahujansamaj.

The way Mayawati is conducting herself these days is giving the impression that she would ultimately help BJP in remaining in power in UP. (IPA Service)
