Low-key celebrations on 77th birth anniversary of Kanshi Ram
TNN,Mar 16, 2011, 03.50am IST

LUCKNOW: The 77th birth anniversary of BSP founder Kanshi Ram on
Tuesday turned out to be a sober affair. The usual grandeur seen in
the programmes organised by the Bahujan Samaj Party was missing.

There was no rally, no crowds, no cultural programmes and no organised
tour of dalit memorials for BSP supporters.

A BSP worker tried to explain the reason behind the low-key
celebrations. "There has never been pomp and show on birth anniversary
of Kanshi Ram. Last year, since it coincided with the maharally, there
was a bigger celebration. The party had completed its 25 years. There
was all reason to rejoice,'' he said. However, no official statement
from the party was available.

The key highlights of last year celebrations included special pandals
erected at Kanshiram Smriti Upvan where Mayawati addressed a
maharally. Party workers from across the country including Karnataka,
West Bengal, Maharashtra, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Gujarat,
Rajasthan and Uttarakhand had attended the maharally. A special tour
of dalit memorials here was also arranged for the rallyists.
