LUCKNOW: BSP national president Mayawati has sent senior and experienced leaders from UP as “emissaries” to other states where Assembly elections are imminent. The leaders will work as “Behenji’s men” in states like Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. In Gujarat, where Assembly elections might be held in December this year, the party is keen to cash in on the anti-incumbency factor.
Senior BSP leaders, including former minister Dharamveer Ashok and Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Siddharth, have been appointed the in-charge for Gujarat. It was only two months back that the party appointed a local leader, BS Parmar, as state president for its Gujarat unit.
