BSP: Fallout Of UP Elections.

Finally, the sins have caught up with Mayawati who has been sitting on UP’s fate like a cobra for all these years. She was like an extreme punishment which was not commensurate with the crime of voting for her. A visit to Lucknow is rewarded with unsightly posters singing paeans in honor of Behenji. Huge parks with elephants and her statues assault the senses. Once beautiful and cultured city was first destroyed by the SP Yadavs of western UP and the task has been completed by the BSP. Once ubiquitous politeness has been replaced by rudeness, the Lucknawi attitude by a fear of the unknown and the beauty of the old stands marred by the current day architectural eunuchs (malls). The same story seems to have been repeated all over this once great and cultured state.


Now the state represents corruption and incompetence. Scams are big and mired in worse crimes like murder. Parts of the state have come to represent mini Pakistans. Poverty is worse than that in the sub Saharan countries. People are eating mud to fill themselves up. Laborers are leaving the state in droves looking for work and becoming a source of constant ridicule. You need only say that you are from UP to have your credibility shot to the dust in the rest of the country. That is what UP has become thanks to one incompetent regime after another. Even the BJP led governments did nothing for this unfortunate state. SP rule and then BSP have dug new depths for the state if that were possible. Almost all the BSP leaders should be in jail. Mayawati has finally got her comeuppance. People of UP have voted her out along with her air flown shoes and her food tasters and her private road. That they have brought back the SP will be covered in another post.


Hopefully, the BSP will die in ignominy. Hopefully, Maywati and her cronies will be tried in a court of law. Hopefully, our dalit brothers and sisters will find real leaders who will look out for their interests without pocketing the much needed funds. Hopefully they will find leaders who will not try to pull wool over the dalit aam aadmi by showing him the past rather than making a bright future a reality, leaders who will build to bring prosperity rather than monuments. I hope and pray that such a leader emerges from the BJP. After all, our tallest leader, Bhai Narendra Modi is an OBC as is Uma Bharati. How hard can it be to find the Hindu conservative dalit who will work for the society’s forgotten in the BJP fold? It is a matter of trying and making it a priority. A rather large population of dalits should tell us how urgent it is to find that dalit Narendra Modi.
