Lucknow, March 11 : BSP leader Mayawati on Friday said the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) aggressive anti-Muslim campaign forced the Muslim comm ty to vote en block in favour of the Samajwadi Party, in the absence of which the Uttar Pradesh results would have been different. Mayawati told the media here that because of the mass voting by Muslims for the Samajwadi Party, “anti-BJP Hindu votes didn’t came to BSP”. Otherwise, she said, the electoral outcome in the state would have been different. “As time will pass, they (people) will definitely repent.” She said it was only the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) — which got just one of the 403 assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh — which can prevent the BJP from coming to power. “It is due to their wrong thinking that the BJP has come to power again here. If there would have been a triangular contest in Uttar Pradesh, which by all means was possible, then the results would have been as per the expectations of the BSP and the BJP would have been prevented from coming to power,” she said. Mayawati said that to defeat the BJP, the Muslim comm ty made repeated mistakes of relying on the Samajwadi Party. “It is very bitter… Therefore, keeping in mind the bitter experience, the BSP will surely change its strategy in future,” she said. She said that under such circumstances the only solace for the BSP was that Dalits, which stood firmly with the party. The BSP supremo also slammed the media for calling the BSP and a “B team” of the BJP. “Through negative publicity, casteist media succeeded to an extent in misleading the Muslim comm ty and anti-BJP Hindu votes… BSP’s fight with the BJP was political as well as ideological and electoral,” she said.
