Lucknow, 9th July. Satish Chandra Misra, the BSP’s national general secretary, was absent from the party’s last two crucial organisational meetings. His name was also missing from the BSP’s list of star campaigners for the recent Azamgarh Lok Sabha bypoll, with sources claiming that Mayawati, the party’s national president, had sidelined him.
According to BSP sources, Mayawati has asked Misra, 69, to devote himself primarily to fighting the party’s legal battles and overseeing the party’s legal cell for the time being. Misra, the BSP’s Brahmin face, was previously a key player in the party’s organisational affairs as well as its legal wing.
Following the February-March Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, in which the BSP was totally ruined and reduced to just one seat, Mayawati has already held three meetings in Lucknow with all of the top party officials and state office holders. According to sources, Misra attended the first of these meetings on March 27 but missed the other two on May 29 and June 30. When questioned about Misra’s absence from these crucial discussions, some BSP leaders cited his “health concerns.”
“Misra ji has been asked not to hold organisational meetings,” a senior BSP leader said. He has stayed out of political matters. He has been assigned sole responsibility for the party’s legal cell.”
