Bahujan Samaj Party supremo and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Monday dissolved all the state-level and district committees of the party in the wake of the party’s not-so-impressive performance in the recent Lok Sabha elections. Besides, she disbanded the party’s much-publicised Bhai-Chara (caste-based) committees across the state.
This apart, the BSP supremo has suspended two legislators of Uttarakhand — Chaudhury Yashvir Singh of Eqbalpur constituency and Kazi Mohammad Nizamuddin of Manglore — for anti-party activities.
Mayawati has also accepted the resignations of all the chairpersons and deputy chairpersons of various commissions, corporations and boards of the state. Babu Singh Kushwaha, the party’s national general secretary, said that all of them had resigned owning moral responsibility of the party’s poor show in the polls.
