To mark the 12th death anniversary of party founder Kanshi Ram, the Bahujan Samaj Party is set to organise a big rally in Lucknow on October 9. Party president Mayawati is expected to attend the rally which is being held at the Kanshi Ram eco-garden. The rally will also serve as a platform for the party to sound poll buggle for upcoming Lok Sabha polls in 2019. With this rally, BSP will look forward to strengthen its traditional voter base in the state of UP. Kanshi Ram died on October 9, 2006.
