Ideology Bahujan Samaj Party is one of the main national parties of India. It was formed by the magnetic leader name Babu Kanshi Ram in 1984.Elephant is the symbol of the party. It projects itself the political party that represents the lowest sections of the society especially Dalits and other SC, ST and minority classes. It claims to be the only party that represents all of the lowest sections of the Indian society irrespective of their religion and that follows the philosophy of one of the dalit leader B.R. Ambedkar.

Mayawati BSP is presently headed by Mayawati who has emerged as the supreme leader of the party after the death of its founder Babu Kanshi Ram. She has been the chief minister of the state of Utter Pradesh for four times. She is the aggressive leader and has always remained in headlines because of her bitter relations with the Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav. BSP is the strongest political party in the state of UP. It presently has 19 MPs in the Parliament. It must be learnt it is the state of UP that plays an important role in deciding the formation of Central Government as there are 80 constituencies in the State.

Third Front India, for the last two decades, is being led by the coalition governments. We have seen more than five central governments that were formed with the active participation of the regional and small parties. And BSP has always played a crucial role in formation of the central governments. BSP has emerged as the strongest party that will decide the fate of the central government in the future. After the withdrawal of support by the Left parties to the Congress led government, the fate of the central government is equally balanced. It is being said that BSP will very soon join the UNPA With the support of Left UNSA has emerged as the third major political power in the country and some political pundits say that it is the revival of the third front. It is being said that Mayawati will the projected as the prime ministerial candidate by the UNPA. It will be first time that after Congress and BJP a person from a third party will be projected as the prime ministerial candidate in the elections. It will not be an unexpected thing if in future Mayawati becomes the Prime Minister of India.
