On Kanshi Ram's Birth Anniversary, Remembering How he Won 1991 Lok Sabha Election from Etawah

News 18  

Kanshi Ram, a charismatic leader, founder of the Bahujan Samaj Party picked up the baton of Dalit politics in India. In 1991, Etawah’s electorate voted Kanshi Ram to power, amid 48 candidates who were in the fray for the unreserved seat in Lok Sabha constituency. With the help of Mulayam Singh Yadav, Kanshi Ram won the Lok Sabha election from Etawah in 1991, while Mulayam’s close aide Ram Singh Shakya was a candidate from Janata Party and got only 82,624 votes. After this victory, an alliance of Mulayam and Kanshi Ram began in Uttar Pradesh which proved to be beneficial for Mulayam Singh Yadav as he formed his government in the state in 1995.
