Lucknow, February 27 The ruling party in the state is pulling up its socks for the Lok Sabha elections due next year.

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president and Chief Minister Mayawati has already disseminated clear-cut instructions to her partymen in this regard.

Holding a late evening meeting of her party legislators at her residence at 5, Kali Das Marg today, Mayawati asked her legislators to closely study new parliamentary constituencies after delimitation. While giving categorical directions to prepare for the general elections on the basis of delimitation, she also asked the legislators to come up with a panel of three names for each constituency.

“Attention to details is needed while studying new limits and boundaries of the constituencies which will now have new caste and population equations. These new equations should be the base for zeroing in on the names of the proposed candidates,” Mayawati was quoted as telling her legislators.

A party source said though names of all candidates for the Lok Sabha elections were almost final, because of the delimitation — the process is being done all over again.

In the meeting, Mayawati also reviewed and instructed party leaders regarding celebrations for Kanshi Ram’s birth anniversary on March 15, which has already been declared a state holiday.

The day has also been chosen for formal inauguration of the BSP party office that has come up at 12/A, Mall Aevnue — opposite Mayawati’s personal residence at 13, Mall Avenue.

To mark party founder Kanshi Ram’s birth anniversary, Mayawati will address a huge meeting at the newly constructed conference hall on the party campus. The pink sandstone-walled conference hall is built over an acre of land and can accommodate 2,000 people at a time.

The chief minister also asked party leaders to ensure that functions are organised throughout the state to mark the occasion.

In Lucknow, the BSP has made arrangements to set up over 500 gates and hoardings for which the payments have already been made to the power and the municipal corporation, said a party source.`
