SP fears BSP the most, says Akash Anand, asks voters to be wary

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) national coordinator Akash Anand on Monday claimed the Samajwadi Party (SP) fears his party the most. “Samajwadi Party fears BSP the most. It was [party chief] Mayawati ji who worked the most for the uplift of Dalits. That’s why SP members keep shouting ‘PDA, PDA’,” he said at a party workers’ conference in Hathras, referring to the SP’s Pichchda, Dalit, Alpsankhyank or Backwards, Dalits and minorities plank. “Mayawati ji always cautions people from all walks of life to be wary of the deceptive SP and its narrow casteist politics,” added Mr. Anand.
