BSP supremo Mayawati, who has been facing flak for her soft stance towards the BJP, now wants to give a message through her attitude that she may not join the proposed opposition unity at present, but is a staunch opponent of the BJP.Perhaps this is the reason why Mayawati, who gave a measured response to the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) six days ago, has now taken a U-turn and termed the UCC as forced and non-useful. He said that instead of devoting energy on non-urgent issues like UCC, the BJP and its government should work on reducing inflation and eradicating poverty.In a review meeting with the office bearers of Haryana, Punjab and Chandigarh at the party headquarters in New Delhi on Saturday, Mayawati clearly said that keep an eye on every political-social activity, but do not react, because the party needs votes of every class. The party will examine the situation regarding this issue. Apart from instructing the workers to prepare for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, she was an attacker on the BJP.He said that BJP governments are victims of frustration. To cover up its shortcomings, it is giving impetus to casteist, communal and divisive policies. He said that forcing UCC on all the people of the country is also their latest step.On July 2, the BSP president had said that if a uniform law is implemented, the country will not be weak but strong. BSP is not against UCC. Now the way Mayawati’s attitude has changed, speculation is being made that she is seriously considering for an alliance with the Congress or wants to keep the window of possibilities open for opposition unity as well.However, nothing was said about this to the office bearers in this review meeting. The only advice is that there is a lot of potential for the party in Punjab, the birthplace of BSP founder Kanshi Ram. There has been strength in Chandigarh as well, so hard work will have to be done here.Describing the BJP government in Haryana as unstable, Mayawati raised the possibility that the BJP may hold assembly elections there along with the Lok Sabha elections. Preparation for this should be started well in advance. While making many changes in the organization including the state president, state in-charge, he directed to work on the UP model in Haryana. Just as the BSP formed the government four times in UP on the mantra of Sarvajan Hitay, Sarvajan Sukhaya, similarly this message should be conveyed to every village of Haryana.
