At the same time, former Congress President Rahul Gandhi is also busy these days in bringing the leaders of the opposition party against Modi on one platform. Most of the anti-BJP parties are also seen standing with Mamta and Rahul in this, but BSP chief Mayawati is keeping distance from this opposition solidarity.

BSP did not attend Rahul’s meeting

Rahul Gandhi has invited opposition parties for breakfast at Delhi’s Constitution Club on Tuesday. This is Rahul’s attempt to unite the opposition parties on the issue of Pegasus espionage case and agricultural laws. Leaders of 15 parties including TMC, NCP, SP, RJD, Left parties, Indian Muslim League, RSP also participated in it. Earlier, Rahul Gandhi had addressed the press with leaders of 14 opposition parties and surrounded the Modi government.

Earlier, Mamta Banerjee, who became the Chief Minister for the third time after winning the election battle of West Bengal, also came to Delhi, and on her five-day tour, met with all the opposition leaders including Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi to Sharad Pawar, Arvind Kejriwal, Sanjay Raut. .

Mamta had said that the treatment of the disease has to be started early, otherwise it will be too late. BJP is a very strong party. In such a situation, the Congress will have to rely on the regional parties and the regional parties on the Congress. However, the interesting thing is that Mayawati is keeping distance from the exercise of both these leaders of the opposition.

Mayawati’s distance from the stage of opposition leaders

BSP chief Mayawati has not been seen on any platform of opposition solidarity since she attended the oath ceremony of the JDS-Congress coalition government in Karnataka in 2018. Even if there has been an exercise of opposition unity from the Congress side, then again by any other regional party. The Congress had a meeting with the opposition party on the issue of CAA-NRC, in which the BSP refused to participate.

It is believed that by standing with the opposition unity parties, Mayawati does not want to push back her own claim for the post of Prime Minister. Mayawati is in the process of reviving her politics. She wants to give full air to the dream of the country’s first Dalit Prime Minister and second woman Prime Minister, but before that she is trying to get back her lost political base in UP. That is why from UP to Punjab, he has laid the political chessboard.

Mayawati’s policy of ‘Ekla Chalo’

The road to Delhi’s power goes through UP only. In February next year, assembly elections are to be held in five states including UP, Punjab, Uttarakhand. In such a situation, Mayawati is busy preparing for the UP elections these days and has camped in Lucknow. Mayawati has made it clear that she will not enter the electoral fray by forming an alliance with any party in UP, but will contest the elections on her own. The BSP has sounded the election bugle through the Brahmin convention and has joined hands with the Akali Dal against the Congress in Punjab.

Mayawati is besieging BJP on both Pegasus and Kisan issues, but she is avoiding giving any political message by standing with the opposition parties. In such a situation, neither Mayawati herself is attending the meeting of any opposition party nor party general secretary Satish Chandra Mishra, who is considered her strong warlord. Mayawati’s target is both BJP and Congress.

Even though opposition unity is being fueled by Rahul and Mamta, Mayawati is carrying forward her politics with great care. All the leaders of the opposition are working on a strategy to gradually advance their claim with unity and prove themselves as the biggest leader, but Mayawati is also considered a shrewd politician. In such a situation, she does not want to accept the leadership of any opposition party.

BSP fears dalit votes

Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh assembly elections have an important role in increasing the political distance between Mayawati and Congress. After the news of alliance with BSP from Congress in these two states came to the fore, it was felt that apart from UP, both the parties can come together.

But the BSP’s demand for more seats did not allow the alliance to take place. Not only this, Mayawati is also very angry with the merger of BSP MLAs with Congress in Rajasthan, for which she also went to court.

Senior journalist Syed Qasim, who closely observes the politics of BSP, says that Mayawati has her own political reasons for not coming openly with the Congress. Uttar Pradesh is a BSP stronghold. The Dalit community has once been a traditional voter of the Congress, but after the political rise of the BSP, the Dalit voters drifted away from the Congress.

In such a situation, Mayawati feels that her Dalit voter should not get scattered if she stands with the Congress. That is why Mayawati often says in her speeches that the policies and ideology of BJP-Congress are against the underprivileged. In this way, Mayawati keeps distance from not only Congress but also BJP.
