Though Mayawati has always been critical of Chandrashekhar -- even calling him the B team of the BJP, this is the first time the Bhim Army Chief has mounted an attack on the BSP President.
BSP supremo and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister has announced that her party will fight all major elections on its own, ostensibly ruling out any future alliance with Samajwadi Party
After the general elections, Mayawati had announced her decision that the BSP will contest the upcoming by-elections in Uttar Pradesh alone, ditching her alliance partner Akhilesh Yadav
Keshav Prasad Maurya's claim was similar to what Union Home Minister Amit Shah had said in September 2018 as the BJP president while addressing the party leaders in the national executive meeting in New Delhi.
'I studied engineering in Mysore. As a science student, I know that all experiments do not always succeed. But still we give it a trial and learn what is lacking,' said Akhilesh while talking to reporters in Lucknow.
In the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, the SP-BSP alliance could only manage to get 15 seats in Uttar Pradesh while the BJP walked away with 62 seats, while its ally Apna Dal won 2.
After drawing a blank in the 2014 general election, the Bahujan Samaj Party this time round won a decent 10 of the 38 seats that it contested as part of the alliance in Uttar Pradesh.
Ahead of the 2022 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, BSP chief Mayawati is making political moves that's evoking mixed responses. More importantly, she is becoming increasingly dynastic by putting her nephew and younger brother in key positions
After suffering massive setbacks in the Lok Sabha elections 2019, BSP and SP have parted ways but till they can expand their base among the marginalised communities, BJP will not be threatened in Uttar Pradesh
All pre-election talk of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah being cut down to size evaporated after the Lok Sabha elections were declared. But BJP's confidence to win majority on its own was backed by genius of a strategy, writes Anirban Ganguly
The Mahagathbandhan among Samajwadi Party, BSP, RLD and Congress only focused on their core supporters, forgetting to mobile the entire electorate. BJP clearly rode the national security wave and gained from the Opposition's choice of a clear PM candidate
With the Gandhis losing pocket-borough Amethi for the first time since 1977 and the SP-BSP-RLD belying the expectations they raised, the BJP had a bull run up North
With this victory—which has the look of a tectonic plate shifting—Narendra Modi becomes the first non-Congress PM since Indira Gandhi to return to power for a full five-year term.
In states like Bihar where the electorate is heavily divided by caste, strategic alliances with little-known parties can make or break the dreams of bigger political players aiming for a piece of the cherry cake at the Centre
