Now, BSP targets trader votebank
Mohit dubey
agra, july 17 The BSPâs first Vaish Samaj Sammelan here failed to repeat the success of its recent Brahmin sammelans.
The absence of chief Mayawati and incessant rain made sure the gathering at the Mathur Vaish hall was thin. The directions to the workers did the trick and jeeploads of supporters were brought to the venue. This delayed the function by an hour.
With the numbers taken care of, the function took off with speeches on how the need of hour was to "join hands with behenji (Mayawati)".
Satish Goel, the national spokesperson of the BSP and the chief guest said after the Brahmin conventions, the party had the support of all sections of the society and urged the traders to back it too.
<b>"Mayawati is the icon of the Dalits and is fast gaining the support of the upper castes, traditional votebanks of the Congress and the BJP", he said, adding the party would organise a bigger sammelan in Delhi on similar lines soon. </b>
This, he added, would be addressed by party president and former UP chief minister Mayawati.
