LUCKNOW, July 20: BSP supremo Mayawati today asked party leaders and workers to make full preparations for the upcoming Assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.
She exhorted that without getting distracted by the victory or defeat in elections, the workers and leaders have to persevere in the missionary work.
Speaking about the prevailing situation in Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati termed the arrest of people under serious sections like National Security Act (NSA) as the official fashion of repression to cover up the failure on crime control and law and order.
The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president, who held a meeting of party office bearers of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab here, said, “As far as the upcoming Assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir are concerned, in both the States, BSP has to make full preparations and then go into the polls and make every effort to live up to the expectations of the party’s cadres and supporters.”
Referring to the case of Jammu and Kashmir, the BSP president said the Government claims that the situation there has become much better and normal than before and now the Centre is talking about holding the G20 summit there.
“Therefore, as a proof of this, it is necessary that democracy should be restored at the earliest by holding Assembly elections there. This will give new confidence to the people and strengthen the claims of the government,” a party release quoted her as saying.
Referring to the current situation in UP, Mayawati said that arrest of people under serious sections like NSA and oppression of families has become the new official fashion of repression to cover up the failures on matters of crime control and law and order and this is grossly unfair. (PTI)
