So perhaps those people rooting for Behenji are right after all. The Bahujan Samaj Party head honcho is second only to Manmohan Singh in terms of Wiki-popularity. And notwithstanding the online advertisement blitz, the BJP's PM candidate LK Advani languishes in last place. Yes, even below Prakash Karat.

KOLLAM: Socialist Republican Party (SRP) has decided to merge with BSP. The decision was taken at the meeting of the state executive committee of the party, said party state chairman Varadarajan and general secretary Thekkumbhagam Reghunath.

Candidates List of BSP for Parliament Election 2009

http://bspindia.org/final_candidate_loksabha_election_2009.php

The Elephant march

Lucknow : “ABHI nahin to kabhi nahin (If not now, then never),” is how
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leaders describe Uttar Pradesh Chief
Minister Mayawati’s chances of becoming Prime Minister after the
forthcoming Lok Sabha polls. Even as denials from various Third Front
parties fly back and forth about Maya being named as its prime
ministerial candidate, BSP leaders have been relentlessly trying to
expand the party’s base across India, with BSP leaders expected to
contest almost all the 543 Lok Sabha seats in India.

Though Mayawati herself has declared that there is no “scope” to
discuss the prime ministerial candidate for the Third Front until
after the results for the 15th Lok Sabha results are declared, her
strategic efforts to permeate regional boundaries at this juncture do
add fuel to the guessing game about her ambitions. A look at the
inroads made by the BSP across the country:

The south

“It was not her sudden decision to send (the BSP’s) national secretary
Satish Chandra Mishra to attend the Third Front rally in Karnataka.
She weighed her options well and then she found herself in a strong
bargaining position to be projected as the prime-ministerial candidate
of the proposed Third Front,” a source in the BSP disclosed.

Incidentally, the rally was organised just three days before the
celebration of her party’s founder Kanshi Ram’s birth anniversary on
March 15. “She killed two birds with one stone. First, she used this
opportunity to communicate her demand for her projection as the PM
candidate to the Third Front leaders before inviting them to attend
her party’s function. Then she ensured considerable rise in her
popularity graph among the voters of southern states as her party’s
organisational works in Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and
Karnataka have already crossed the third stage,” another source said.

The party’s groundwork in almost every state provides an insight into
her game plan (see box) to force regional parties to accept her as a
force to be reckoned with. “She is not only popular but also in a
position to damage the electoral prospect of regional political
parties in several states,” a BSP source, who is associated with
organisational matters, explained.

In Kerala, the Mayawati has approved the candidates for 13 of the
total 20 seats. “We had contested 106 out of the total 140 seats in
the last Assembly election in Kerala and vote share was about 1.24 per
cent. This is for the first time when we are going to contest all the
seats in Kerala,” Suresh Manse who is in-charge of the Kerala, Tamil
Nadu and Andhra Pradesh told this reporter.

The party is also being noticed in Karnataka. “We have worked a lot to
woo the Madiga, Gohara and Holia castes. Within the Lingayat
community, there are several castes and they have been also covered
under the party’s Bhaichara committees,” a source in BSP disclosed.
The party has already announced 15 candidates out of the total 28
seats. “Soon the names of the rest of the candidates would be
announced,” the party’s Karnataka in-charge Veer Singh said.

Madhya Pradesh

“We receive an average seven to eight applications from those hoping
to be the party’s candidate in every constituency of this state,” said
Narayan Prasad Ahirwar who heads the BSP’s Madhya Pradesh unit.

The BSP had begun its association with the Madhya Pradesh right from
the days of Kanshi Ram. Although the party could bag only seven seats
in the last Assembly election, it polled 11 per cent votes. “Nearly 20
candidates of the BSP got 30-35 percent vote polled,” recalled a
source. The state has already sent one BSP member to Parliament. As
per the party’s assessment, 12 seats are put under the ‘A’ category
this time. “A category means those parliamentary constituencies where
the party had performed well and bagged more than two lakhs votes,”
explained a party insider.

The candidates’ list of the Madhya Pradesh unit is still awaiting
Mayawati’s approval.

Rajasthan and Delhi

“Gone are the days when we used to play the role of spoilsport. The
Assembly elections in four states (Rajasthan, Delhi, MP and
Chhattisgarh) were an eye-opener for us. Now we hope to win seats in
these states,” a senior leader said. The party’s vote-share in
Rajasthan was about 8 per cent while it had won six Assembly seats in
the state. “The party has selected two of its Rajasthan MLAs as Lok
Sabha candidates in Rajasthan,” another source said. In Delhi, the
party has announced the names of its candidates for all the seven
seats. “The main focus of the party is on South Delhi, North-West
Delhi and East Delhi seats,” the source added.

Punjab and Haryana

The party has almost completed the candidate-selection process in
Uttarakhand, Punjab and Haryana, besides Uttar Pradesh. “These are the
states in which the party’s important brotherhood committees have
already accomplished what they set out to do, while the booth
committees are functioning well,” said a source, describing the
relatively early selection of candidates in these states. For example,
the party has already cleared the names of 12 candidates out of a
total of 13 seats in Punjab. These candidates include former governor
B K N Chhibber for Amritsar, retired IFS officer Surjeet Singh for the
Jalandhar seat and former Sessions Judge Gurnam Singh Sewak.

Maharashtra

The party has cleared the names of 13 out of 42 seats of Maharashtra.
“The party has formed the bhaichara committees for different castes
such as Banjara, Teli Samaj, Maratha, Dhangar, Madi and Kunabi in all
of Maharashtra’s districts,” said a source. “Arun Gawli has been
selected as BSP candidate for the South-Central Mumbai seat, besides
Mahant Sudhir Das from Nashik. Mahant belongs to the same family that
had stopped Ambedkar from entering a temple.

Bihar

Mayawati is set to release a list of candidates for Bihar. “The
party’s position in Bihar is better only in such areas that are
located close to the border,” a BSP leader added.

India may vote for untouchable leader

More than 60per cent of India's population live on less than $2 a day, so it is hardly surprising the poor and disenfranchised are politically motivated. Dalits - who sit at the bottom of India's rigid caste system - represent 16 per cent of the population, 175million out of a total 1.1 billion people.

"Mayawati is Chief Minister of a state which has as many people as Brazil (190 million) so we should look at her party seriously," Professor Rangarajan told The Australian.

BSP banks on Mayawati factor in any new govt

In fact, BSP assembly candidates in South Delhi Lok Sabha constituency got a vote share of over 24.5% by polling 2.12 lakh votes. The BSP had won Badarpur seat and was second in Tughlakabad and Deoli. In half of the assembly constituencies, Gujjars have a sizeable population which can influence the poll outcome. Tanwar himself is a Gujjar. 

Similarly, the party bagged 17.7% votes in North-East by polling 1.68 lakh votes and winning the Gokalpur seat. In East Delhi, BSP candidates got 12.1% votes.

India's top 10 women politicians

http://specials.rediff.com/getahead/2009/mar/06slid6-indias-most-influential-women.htm

Love her or hate her, you can't ignore politician Mayawati. The CM of Uttar Pradesh started life off in humble surroundings, the daughter of a Dalit telecommunications clerk in Delhi. Securing bachelor's degrees in Law and Education, she became a teacher before joining the Bahunjan Samaj Party in 1984 and switching to fulltime politics. The BSP, which sought to represent the Dalits, has become a political force to be reckoned with in the last few years and many are of the opinion that she will be the nation's next prime minister. Today, Mayawati is the highest income tax-paying politician in India, shelling out Rs 26 crore per year and is closing in on Sonia Gandhi onForbes' list of the Top 100 Most Powerful Women -- she weighed in at number 59 as of 2008.
Life lesson from Mayawati:
Turn your perceived weaknesses into strengths; the lower down you start, the higher you'll climb.

Maywati Ranked 2nd by Rediff in the list of "Top Women Politicians"

Top Women Politicians
http://specials.rediff.com/women07/2007/mar/06wsld9.htm

The late Kanshi Ram may have been the soul of the Bahujan Samaj Party but it was Mayawati, his chosen heiress, who was its face. As well as head and heart. Urban and urbane India may never comprehend her politics or its success, but to the millions of Dalits she remains the biggest hope.
In 2002, she was the first Dalit woman -- a double minority, if you please -- to become a chief minister, when her party tied up with its foe the BJP to keep Mulayam Singh out.
As UP prepares for another round of hard-fought elections, Mayawati will remain central to its outcome.
What not to ask her: Will you patch up with Mulayam?

The "untouchable" and her rise to power in India

In the late 1960s, a little girl and her family set out from a Delhi shanty town to visit her grandparents in a distant village. It was a long journey, and her parents began to chat to other passengers on the bus. When they revealed their destination was the chamar mohalla – the area usually found on the outskirts of a village and inhabited by those at the lowest level of the Indian caste hierarchy – the bus fell silent. The little girl’s mother had to explain to her that other Indians considered the caste to which her family belonged to be unclean.

More than 40 years later, that little girl, known simply as Mayawati, is a political hero for lower-caste Indians throughout the north of the country. She is a Dalit, a member of the caste known historically as “untouchables”. And Dalits in the state of Uttar Pradesh hurry in their thousands to her rallies, where she tells them how proud she is to have been born into a Dalit family. “I am the daughter of a Chamar [a Dalit]. I am a Chamar. I am yours.” In May 2007, she became chief minister of Uttar Pradesh for the fourth time. On taking the oath of office, she declared that “nobody can stop me from becoming prime minister”. We shall find out soon enough if she is right: India goes to the polls in a general election in April and May this year.

No one can ignore Mayawati -- that is for sure.

Many foresee her as the next prime minister. The BSP chief and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati is keeping her cards close to her chest.

Has not committed any poll deals with any party. But she will set terms to the Third Front if she gets a lion's share of the 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh. Earlier, Karat struck a deal with Maya, but it fell apart later.

No one can ignore Maya -- that is for sure.
