Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati will address another rally with the slogan 'Sarvajan hitay sarvajan sukhaye' in Azamgarh - the lok Sabha constituency of SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav on Sunday.
This will be second BSP rally before the Assembly polls and the previous one was held at Agra on August 21, which witnessed a massive turnout.
Since the Aghrarally, the party has been hit by desertion of importantleaders like Swami Prasad Maurya, RK Chaudhary and most recently Brijesh Pathak. At the Agra rally, Pathak - a Brahmin face of the BSP, was present on the dais with Mayawati but decided to join the BJP jolting Mayawati’s 'Sarvajan hitay sarvajan sukhaye' slogan.
Mayawati is expected to woo the Dalit-Muslim community atthe Azamgarh rally as the two together constitute a sizeable votebank in the region. Senior BSP leaders and workers have been assigned to gather maximum crowd from Azamgarh, Mau, Ghazipur, Varanasi, Sonebhadra, Mirjapur and nearby areas. After this, the BSP will hold a rally in Saharanpur and Allahabad next month.
Azamgarh district BSP chief Chetai Ram said that the rally will be historic as the volume of crowd will be unprecedented. To ensure this the BSP brass held a meeting in Azamgarh earlier to thrash out a strategy. Chetai Ram said that every BSP worker is putting in his efforts to ensure that Mayawati becomes the next Chief Minister.
