The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) is the third largest national political party in India.[8] It was formed mainly to represent Bahujans (literally meaning "People in majority"), referring to people from the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Castes (OBC), as well as religious minorities that together consist of 85 percent[9][10][11][12][13] of India's population but still divided into 6000 different castes.[14][15]

The party claims to be inspired by the philosophy of Gautama Buddha, B. R. Ambedkar, Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Narayana Guru, Periyar E. V. Ramasamy and Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj.[16] It was founded by Kanshi Ram in 1984, who named his protégée Mayawati as his successor in 2001.

The BSP was the third most voted-for party in the 2014 general election but still failed to win any seats in the 16th Lok Sabha.[17] The BSP has its main base in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. In 2017 Uttar Pradesh elections, BSP was second largest party in terms of vote share with over 22% votes despite winning only 19 seats.[18] It has an elephant as its election symbol. The BSP has no separate youth wing as it has at least 50 percent representation of youth in its organizational structure.[19] BSP has no social media accounts or website.[20] Sudhindra Bhadoria, a senior party leader, is the only official spokesperson of the BSP.[21]

Explanation:

Ideology of BSP (Bahujan Samajwadi Party ):

  • BSP believes in the "Bahujan Samaj's" "Social Transformation and Economic Emancipation." According to the Bahujan Samaj, the Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Castes (OBC) are the Bahujans.
  • Mayawati addressed the audience in 2008 and said: "Our policies and ideologies are not anti-caste or anti-religion. We would not have granted tickets to people from upper castes to stand in elections if we would be anti-upper caste."
  • The teachings of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, affectionately known as Babasaheb, the major architect of India's Constitution, had a profound impact on Kanshi Ram.
  • The BSP speaks out against the 'Manuwadi' social structure, which is maintained by upper-caste Hindus, particularly Brahmins, as well as the elite sections of society.
