and the deep blue sea. So amoral!"
The rally was boycotted as a "protest against the party fielding gangster
Mukhtar Ansari from the holy city (Varanasi) for the coming Lok Sabha
election". The report also says: ""Brahmin rally for votes in the
Lok Sabha election is totally immoral, and when it is for the mobilisation
of voters in favour of a mafia don, it is really unfortunate."
So the amorality was on part of the BSP, it would seem. And the Brahmins
have acted in a form which many on this list have suggested that we do, if
we were in the same situation. The rally was address by Satish Chandra
Mishra, a Brahmin, and supposed to be the architect of the social
engineering that Mayawati is credited with. Mishra claims that Brahmins
form 15% of the voters in Uttar Pradesh. "He alleged that
parties like Congress and the BJP had only exploited the Brahmins and
despite ruling the country and the state for years, both the parties ignored
the Brahmins and did nothing for their betterment." This is
