Yes Mr. Roy that's what I am trying to say, the fact is BSP is trying to woo the upper castes right now and Mayawati can say that once or twice but not be so open about it, that will hurt her election results. She has also tried to bring people from the forward classes into the party to stand on behalf of BSP, she will never want her newly found vote bank to abandon her,he they do,she will land up in a mess. Right now it's best to vote for her but if she again starts her rhetoric, we will try to find other options. Right now I believe she is the best bet, as far as manifestos are concerned, all manifestos contain that thing you mentioned about,most of them are either followed or not followed, practicality lies in the fact that vote-bank politics is aimed at communities and then they try to increase their vote bank to reach the national level, if they do abandon a community we will have to look for other options. but forward classes should join one party as it's members and vote for that party irrespective of which state they are in, the thing is even Srinagar University sutdents opposed reservation and well as people from Kohima, reservation is intended to cut the nation along a horizontal line not vertical one that happened in 1947- i.e. you are either a hindu,muslim,christian,sikh,buddhist SC/ST/OBC and get reservation on that basis or else if you are an upper caste or middle caste hindu or a person from another religion who before conversion belonged to upper caste and middle caste community, you are ignored, so it's for us to see which party we should choose not only vote for it but join it in large numbers to turn the picture and all General community students irrespective of which religion you belong to-UNITE! Once reservation policy is nullified , support and help those from the backward classes and bring equality, end this horizontal partition which is taking place right now, it's worse than vertical divide and rule policy
