Lucknow: “Behenji (Mayawati) aajkal chunaav theek se kyun nahi lad rahi (Why is Mayawati not fighting polls properly these days),” Rahul Gandhi asked a group of Dalit students in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday. Reacting sharply to the charge, Mayawati, the first Dalit chief minister of UP, accused the Congress of “animosity and casteist attitude” towards her party, the Bahujan Samaj Party or the BSP. “In the states where Congress is strong or where it has governments, there is animosity and casteist attitude towards BSP and its followers, but in a state like UP where Congress is weak, there is deceptive talk of alliance with BSP, if this is not the double standard of that party then what is it?” Ms Mayawati posted on X. Rahul Gandhi, who is on a two-day visit to his parliamentary constituency Raebareli, prefaced his remarks by praising the former Chief Minister first, then slipped in a sharp question. “Ye toh kehna padega ki Kanshi ram ji ne neev rakhi aur Behenji ne kaam kiya, ye toh main bhi manta hoon. …

In Raebareli, BJP Fights Hard To Breach Congress’ Last UP Bastion

Published by Webster

Mr Gandhi’s challenger is the BJP’s Dinesh Pratap Singh. Raebareli: In this much-in-the-news Lok Sabha constituency, the Gandhi name is the backdrop against which every political debate takes place — whether for voters, for the Congress fighting to keep its bastion or for the BJP going all out for a win. Issues such as the Ram Temple, the Modi factor, the government’s free ration scheme, ‘pucca’ houses for the poor, stray cattle and the Congress’ allegation that the BJP will change the Constitution if it returns to power are all part of the election discourse. But the Gandhi factor looms large over it all. Such has been the Congress’ domination that it has lost Raebareli only thrice since Independence – in 1977, 1996 and 1998.

The former Congress president, who suffered a shock defeat at the hands of the BJP’s high-profile minister Smriti Irani in the nearby family pocket borough Amethi, is …
