Kanshi Ram's Inlfuence On Dalit Vote Bank

Kanshi Ram and his slogans are now being used by almost all political parties to woo the Dalits in UP. These votes are important because 84 seats are reserved out of 403 seats in the assembly, the source says.  On 15, almost all parties celebrated the birth anniversary of Kanshi Ram and on this day, SP, promoting PDA( Pichda, Dalit and Alp Sankhyak) organised programs statewide, the Congress and it's leader Rahul Gandhi already started touring the state from 13 March only, the BSP claimed to be a political heir of Kanshi Ram with Mayawati as the supremo, Chandrasekhar Azad of Azad Samaj Party are not far behind to show their belongingness to Kanshi Ram source says.

This is all about keeping the 2027 state elections. Before 1990, when the BSP was in a position to challenge other parties for the support of these Dalits’ votes, the Congress party had the most support from these castes, but after that, the control slowly diminished, and other parties began to take control of these voters, according to sources. The BSP once became the sole representative of Kanshi Ram's thought, but others also peeped in and tried to become real followers of his thought, according to a source that says.
