Mayawati reviews BSP's expansion in seven states
She also expressed concern over the growing religious frenzy and violence over language and caste issues, demanding protection for residents of other states working in the financial capital, Mumbai.
Referring to the recent violence against non-Marathi speakers in Mumbai, Mayawati called upon the state and Central governments to provide security to all.
'Mumbai is the financial capital of the country, and people from all states have a link with it,' she said.
Referring to the language row, Mayawati said that such dangerous tendencies are rooted in the narrow politics of religion, region, caste and language that try to overshadow patriotism and love for the country.
The BSP chief also urged state governments to pay special attention to important issues of public interest like inflation, poverty, unemployment, illiteracy and health, along with law and order.
Earlier, Mayawati took progress reports from different state units and reviewed the progress on the formation of organisation committees as instructed during the party's special meeting in Lucknow on March 2.
The meeting on Sunday was also attended by the Central Coordinator and In-charge for all these states, former MP Rajaram and Atar Singh Rao, former MLC, along with senior office-bearers of state units.
Mayawati issued instructions to pay attention to the shortcomings in strengthening the state units and carry forward the message of self-respect and self-esteem of Baba Saheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar.
The BSP chief also directed party workers to maintain the Ambedkarite and humanitarian character of the party and improve the lives of crores of Dalits, tribals, other backward classes and minorities.
The former UP Chief Minister also encouraged party workers to serve the disadvantaged so that they are empowered socially, politically and economically as suggested by the Constitution.

Shah's inaction against Pinarayi indicates a CPM-BJP deal: KPCC President
Thiruvananthapuram, July 14 (UNI) Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee President Sunny Joseph today alleged that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has taken no action against the Pinarayi Vijayan led state Government despite calling the regime corrupt, indicating a political deal between the BJP and CPI(M). Though Amit Shah, during his visit to Kerala, listed several instances of corruption in the state government, the central investigation agencies under his ministry probing these cases do not appear sincere in proving his claims, the Congress leader claimed. "Amit Shah must now explain the status of investigations by central agencies into cases such as the Dollar Smuggling, Gold Smuggling, Exalogic, and LIFE Mission scams. These probes have virtually come to a standstill. Who gave the order to halt these investigations ? Wasn't it Amit Shah himself ? Instead of taking real action, he is now deceiving the public with mere political rhetoric," the KPCC President alleged. Pinarayi Vijayan, "who never dares to offend the RSS or BJP, is being kept in power to serve their interests," Sunny Joseph added. He claimed this is driven by Amit Shah's and BJP's blind opposition to the Congress. "While central agencies aggressively pursue non-BJP leaders over baseless allegations, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan - accused in multiple corruption cases - is being given complete protection" he opined. If Amit Shah is sincere in what he says, he must take action, Sunny Joseph demanded. UNI DS AAB RKM

Girls serving in army and space sectors symbol of progress: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Expressing appreciation that girls are leading in scoring 100 per cent marks, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said their presence in the armed forces and space sector is a symbol of the progress of the female community. He was speaking after inaugurating the 300th birth anniversary celebration of Rani Ahilyabai Holkar held at Ravindra Kalakshetra. 'Education, organisation, and struggle' is the mantra given by Dr BR Ambedkar to the oppressed castes and communities. 'Shudras' and women were denied access to literacy and education. But due to Ambedkar's contributions, opportunities for education became available to the 'Shudras' and women. The compulsory education law provided by our Constitution also helped in this regard, CM Siddaramaiah said. 'My grandmother used to say 'Kurubas' are far from education, why should we study? But I went to school, earned a law degree, and became the Chief Minister. Had I not used the opportunity to study, I too would have ended up grazing cattle and sheep. Hence, Rani Ahilyabai's educational revolution became an inspiration to all and to this women's organisation,' he said. 'Those who do not know history cannot shape the future,' he remarked. Despite being in power for 20 years, Rani Ahilyabai Holkar did not aspire to expand her kingdom. Though the royal treasury was full, she led a simple life and prioritised good governance and development. She also played a vital role in social reform by working to end child marriage, he noted. Rani Ahilyabai had a secular mindset and had even supported inter-caste marriage, the CM pointed out. Only when women become socially and economically empowered through education can inequality be eradicated and social development achieved, he said. 'No one becomes lazy because of our government's welfare schemes. On the contrary, they become socially empowered,' Siddaramaiah stated. 'Our government has implemented various schemes like Gruha Lakshmi and Shakti to empower women. These programmes have brought strength to society and to women, not laziness,' he clarified. The Chief Minister announced that land will be allotted in Bengaluru for the Karnataka Ahilyabai Mahila Samaja. CM Siddaramaiah further said that completing 25 years is a major achievement for any organisation. The Karnataka State Ahilyabai Holkar Women's Association has been highly successful. Yellamma and everyone involved deserve appreciation for their efforts, he added.

Hyderabad BJP Madhavi Latha in spotlight as MLA Raja Singh quits
HYDERABAD: Following the acceptance of the resignation of Goshamahal MLA from the party, the central leadership is likely to forward it to the speaker. According to well-placed sources, the BJP considers Singh no longer associated with the party and intends to request the speaker to take appropriate action. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Notably, the name of BJP candidate , who had unsuccessfully contested the Hyderabad Parliamentary seat, is currently being mentioned as a potential contender in the event of a by-election in Goshamahal. As per procedure, Singh himself must submit the resignation acceptance letter to the speaker of the legislative assembly. So far, Singh has resigned only from the party, not from the assembly, and the letter has not yet been submitted to the speaker. The conduct of a by-election now hinges on two key factors: when the resignation letter is formally submitted to the speaker, and what decision the speaker makes after reviewing it. Under Article 190(3)(b) of the Constitution, an elected legislator may resign from his or her seat by submitting a written resignation to the speaker (or chairman, in the case of the legislative council). The seat is deemed officially vacant only once the speaker accepts resignation. Sources within the BJP have indicated that party affairs in-charge, Sunil Bansal, will be in Hyderabad on Monday, for brainstorming. Meanwhile, there is speculation within the party that Madhavi Latha may be chosen to replace Raja Singh as the BJP candidate.
