Lucknow: Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati
today directed party leaders not to use BSP`s flag and banners
in upcoming Panchayat polls in Uttar Pradesh.
"As Panchayat elections are held on free symbols, the
party flag, banners, handbills and posters should not be used
in these polls," she said.
No office-bearer of the party or the social harmony
committee should enter the fray, Mayawati told a meeting of
party leaders, MPs and MLAs here.
"If any leader or worker wants to contest the polls,
he or she should first resign from the party`s organisational
post," the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said.
She said constitution of committees at all levels
should be suspended from September 15 till results of the
Panchayat polls were announced.
"After the polls, the party`s protest on price rise
will resume," she said.
