Description:
The book is an endeavor of tracing the trajectory of Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) from a petty regional party to a national party and emerged as a potent threat to two major National parties. The pragmatic leadership of Kanshiram brought the BSP at the center-stage of Uttar Pradesh politics. And there onwards the strategic maneuvering by Mayawati by undertaking huge 'all-inclusive' political game plan of Sarvajan Hitay earned her a majority in Uttar Pradesh assembly. She has been managing to consolidate the vote share of Underclass and rallying the support of Upper Caste communities in other sates of India to play decisive role at the Centre. The book attempts to discuss the different shades of 'social engineering', projection of Congress itself as secular, Hindutva, issues of reservation and visionary Mayawati.
