Mayawati's BSP may lose its national party status due to poor show in Delhi
Moneylife Digital Team 10 February 2015

The BSP had urged the EC to postpone a decision on its national party status till the outcome of the Delhi Assembly elections, which turned out to be poor for the Mayawati-led party

 

Barring a few seats, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), which fielded candidates in all the 70 constituencies in Delhi, registered a poor show in the Assembly elections.
 
The party, which has been trying hard to maintain its national party status, managed to win below 1,000 votes in most of the constituencies while some of its candidates polled substantial votes.
 
The development may not come as good news to party supremo Mayawati as the Election Commission is set to take a call on its show-cause notice to BSP as to why its national party status should not be withdrawn.
 
In Adarsh Nagar, Ramniwas of BSP managed to get 681 votes while Rajbir secured 815 votes in Ambedkar Nagar. Similarly Mohammad Abdul Haq could muster 754 votes from Babarpur.
 
But the party registered respectable performance in some Delhi seats. In Gokalpur, its candidate Surendra Kumar secured 30,080 votes. In Seema Puri, party candidate Jai Shree secured 3,548 seats.
 
The BSP had urged the EC to postpone a decision on its national party status till the outcome of the Delhi Assembly elections.
 
Following their poor performance in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, EC had issued show—cause notices to BSP, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Communist Party of India (CPI), asking them why their national party status should not be withdrawn.
 
A political party becomes eligible to be recognised as a national party if it has won 2% of seats in the Lok Sabha (11 seats) from at least three different states in the latest general election.
 
Also, if the party has polled 6% of the total valid votes in Lok Sabha and Assembly polls in at least four states, in addition to winning four Lok Sabha seats.

It is a known fact that all the elections are conducted through fraud EVMs which are tamperable.Supreme Court had ordered to replace all the EVMs. But as on now fool proof voting system is not there. last Lok Sabha elections were conducted through fraud EVMs in 543 -8 constituencies. As a result RSS's Bahuth Jiyadha Paapis (BJP) snatched the MASTER KEY by Murderers of democratic institutions (Modi). Until all the fraud EVMs are replaced, all the elections conducted without such replacement must be scraped and fresh elections conducted. Kejrival also told that EVMs could be tampered. May be to avoid embarassement now for a change AAP has won to keep them shut.Therefore non of the political party should lose their status till all the fraud EVMs are replaced and till such time all the elections must be scraped to save democracy, equality, fraternity, and liberty as enshrined in the constitution for peace, welfare and happiness i.e., Sarvajan Hitaye Sarvajan Sukhaye including 99% SC/STs/OBCs/Minorities/poor brahmins, baniyas.
