Fearing Maurya like exit, Mayawati orders only closed-door party meetings

No important information to 'cadre camps'

Speaking to Catch, a senior BSP leader said, "From the past two months, we were running a cadre camp in each constituency of the state. However, the party supremo suspects that the party's internal matters and election strategies are being leaked from the cadre camps. So now the party command has decided that no confidential information shall be shared in those camps."

"We are also concerned that some leaders may shift their loyalty ahead of the election. In such a tight political scenario, we don't want any confidential information to be leaked," added the leader.

Orders for closed-room meetings

According to our sources, the BSP supremo has ordered the senior leaders to organise closed-door meetings in order to avoid any kind of information leak. Mayawati has also asked the leaders to close the cadre camps at the earliest and make sure that non-BSP members gain no access to BSP meetings.

Beware of Modi-Mulayam

"In order to show Samajwadi Party and Bhartiya Janata Party's true face, we are highlighting PM Modi and Mulayam Singh's closeness. We urge the Muslim community to not forget Mulayam Singh Yadav's move of ditching the grand alliance ahead of the Bihar Assembly election in 2015. Mulayam had done this after meeting with PM Modi. The SP only fools the Muslims and they can form an alliance anytime with the BJP," said a BSP leader.

Is there a soft corner for Congress?

Speculations are rife that the BSP has a soft corner for the Congress party. Though Mayawati hasn't announced an alliance with any political party, it is very likely that the Congress and BSP may come together for the UP elections.

The BSP had unconditionally supported the grand old party of India in Uttarakhand when Chief Minister Harish Rawat had to prove his majority in the legislative assembly.
