Can BSP regain relevance in Delhi?

The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), Supremo Mayawati, who was consigned to oblivion due to inactiveness, is expected to campaign for all seats in Delhi Assembly elections. While BJP, AAP, and Congress dominate, the BSP remains a notable player in this election. Active since 1989, the BSP is yet to secure a Lok Sabha seat but has seen limited success in assembly and civic polls. The party plans to contest all 70 assembly seats, aiming to secure Muslim votes. The BSP's strategy could impact Congress and AAP. Her nephew Akash may kickstart the campaign with a rally in East Delhi. Though BSP won two assembly seats in 2008, its influence waned after AAP's rise. Whether it can regain relevance remains uncertain.
