Jaipur: The day Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) registered a remarkable performance in Uttar Pradesh’s Municipal Polls, party’s Supremo Mayawati held a grand rally in Jaipur, Rajasthan.

During the municipal polls, Mayawati, like Samajwadi Party (SP)’s Akhilesh Yadav had not campaigned for its candidates. But, it seems that she is working on the party’s pan India presence.

Mayawati in Rajasthan

On Friday, the cadre conference at Jaipur’s Ramleela Ground witnessed a huge number of supporters pouring in from regions across Rajasthan. Participants from Orissa were also present for the event. The attendees were of various age group were in the rally. However, women were also in good numbers. In her speech, the former chief minister of UP, vehemently criticized Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and labeled it as an anti-Dalit and anti-reservation party.

Hinting at the possible tampering of EVMs during the elections, she claimed that BJP will lose, if ballot papers are used for the 2019 elections. She said that people are losing trust in EVM and the Election Commission of India (ECI) should look into it very seriously. India is the world’s largest democracy and it is in favour of the country that people do not lose faith in the EMV.

Meanwhile, 2018 Rajasthan assembly polls will also be crucial for BSP.
