BSP Won’t Fight District Panchayat Polls, Instead Gear Up for 2022 UP Assembly Elections: Mayawati
Former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and the Bahujan Samaj Party supremo, Mayawati, on Monday announced that the BSP will not fight the elections for district panchayat president and her workers should rather gear up for the UP assembly polls due next year.
Besides, Mayawati called the district panchayat polls are pointless because itтАЩs тАЬunfairтАЭ, alleging a lot of тАЬriggingтАЭ.

тАЬThe party will not contest the election of district panchayat president in UP. Therefore, party workers should prepare for the 2022 assembly elections without wasting their time and energy in panchayat polls,тАЭ she told news agency ANI.
тАЬWe might have contested the panchayat elections had it been fair, however that is not the case. There is a lot of rigging going on in the elections. This was never done during the BSP government in the state. Election rigging is not good for democracy,тАЭ Mayawati added.
Further, the BSP chief said that тАЬconspiracies are being hatched to portray the BSP as a weak party ahead of 2022 state assembly polls in Uttar PradeshтАЭ.
Calling upon BSP workers not to pay any heed to these тАЬrumoursтАЭ, she asked them to reach out to the public and prepare to form the government in Uttar Pradesh in 2022. Mayawati also reiterated that the BSP will not form an alliance with anyone, but will fight alone.
тАЬIf the government is formed in 2022, all the district panchayat presidents will themselves join the BSP. In such a situation, our effort should be to strengthen the organisation and form the government,тАЭ she said.
Taking a jibe at the BJP, Mayawati said that the saffron partyтАЩs style is тАЬsimilar to that of the Samajwadi PartyтАЭ as she said тАЬUP ko bachana hai, Sarvjan ko bachana hai, 2022 me BSP ko lana haiтАЭ (UP has to be saved, everyone has to be saved, BSP has to be brought in 2022).
