BSP is on the verge of extinction in Uttar Pradesh -Amitabh Tiwari

-Moneycontrol.com

The BSP has recorded a humiliating performance in UP once considered its bastion. Unless Mayawati initiates immediate reforms, the party will fade into oblivion 

The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has received a drubbing in the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. It has recorded its worst performance since inception, largely due to a bipolar contest which saw its non-core as well as some core voters shift to the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The BSP has blamed the media for creating the perception of a bipolar election, and feels its core voter shifted to the BJP for fear of return of lawlessness if the SP comes back to power. There are also allegations that the BSP is the B-team of the BJP, and the BSP has systematically transferred its votes to the saffron party which helped it face the Mandal 2.O onslaught by the SP.

The BSP, once a pioneer of Dalit politics in UP and rest of India, has now been converted into a family-controlled party by Mayawati, and faces an extinction threat as it does not have any clear succession plan in place. The BSP is still living in its past glory, and has not adapted to new-age politics. It is still very much rooted in caste politics.
