Behenji wants BSP should connect with people of all castes
"Behenji (as she's called) has directed party workers to strengthen their presence across all booths and ensure that people from all castes and social strata are connected with the party. She also took a feedback on the work done in her absence," a partyperson said.
BSP's coalition partners may arrive in Delhi to wish Mayawati
She has also asked party cadres to be wary of the designs of the ruling BJP to harm SP-BSP alliance interests. Though no formal invitation to other party leaders has been extended, party sources said BSP's coalition partners from other states may arrive in Delhi to wish Mayawati. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav's meeting Mayawati can be viewed in this light, the leader said.
Tejashwi Yadav met Mayawati yesterday. Just to wish birthday?
