Ahead of the assembly election in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Punjab, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati has restructured the party organisation, dividing it into three sectors.
The third sector comprises Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, where the party organisation will be directly overseen by the BSP central camp office at 9 Mall Avenue in Lucknow, she said. Wherever there had been severe loss of life, property or health due to heavy rains and hailstorms, BSP workers should help the affected people to the best of their ability, she said. She has assigned organisational work in these three states to party leaders considered loyal and her close aides coming from the Dalit community, while the units in UP and Uttarakhand will be under her supervision. The second sector comprises nine states. She, however, directed party workers not to raise separate funds, saying no one should be allowed to take undue advantage under the guise of fundraising activities.
The functioning of the party organisation in these states will be jointly reviewed by the two central sector in-charges, former Rajya Sabha MP Rajaram and former MLC Atarsingh Rao, Mayawati said. Mayawati said the party’s central sector in-charges had been directed to assist people affected by natural calamities. In a post on X on Sunday, Mayawati said the changes were aimed at preparing the party organisation across the country and expanding its mass base.
