The BSP would provide reservation to the poor among upper castes and also fulfil the demand for a separate Telangana state if voted to power at the Centre, party chief Mayawati said on Sunday.

Addressing a public meeting here, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister also promised to extend reservation to communities that are presently exempted from the quota policy by bringing in constitutional amendment.

Seeking to replicate the Uttar Pradesh model of social engineering in other states and at the Centre, Mayawati asked her partymen to work closely with the upper castes to achieve “political power” at the Centre.

Supporting the much-debated separate Telangana movement, she said if voted to power at the Centre, the BSP would fulfil the demand.
