Will Mayawati be able to Pull it Through?

In Uttar Pradesh, electoral politics is totally unpredictable especially when it comes to Mayawati, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo who has the ability to steal the show before the opposition decides to look into what went wrong.

Though, the alliance between Congress and Samajwadi party has gained a lot of attention but, Mayawati can never be underestimated or underrated.

A messiah of the downtrodden, this BSP supremo is looking forward to getting a seizable amount of votes from the Muslims and Dalits to get the throne of Lucknow.

According to a 2011 consensus, OBC’s constitute forty percent of the state’s population whereas Dalit’s constitute 21.1 percent of the population of Uttar Pradesh. Nearly, 18-19 percent of the state’s population consists of Muslims, which is again, a great support for Mayawati since the community is upset with how the Akhilesh government handled the Muzaffarnagar riots.

So far, Mayawati in her election campaigns have attacked Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress-Samajwadi party alliance alike.

Mayawati may also get an advantage from the infighting that has been taking place in the Yadav clan. If Mulayam Singh Yadav is unable to solve the differences within his family then, traditional voters may be lost by the party which will again benefit Mayawati.

Apart from that, with Sonia Gandhi and Mulayam Singh missing from the political scene, BSP may get the votes of the traditional voters who will be unwilling to trust the newly formed alliance.
