BSP supremo Mayawati's resignation from the Rajya Sabha was accepted today by chairman Hamid Ansari, a senior official of the Upper House said.
The 61-year-old had on Wednesday resigned from the Rajya Sabha, accusing the BJP and the Chair of not allowing her to raise the issue of "anti-Dalit violence" in Uttar Pradesh in the House.
The move was seen as an attempt by Mayawati to consolidate her core Dalit support base and re-establish herself as the community's prominent leader after facing a massive defeat in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections earlier this year.
Her party could win only 18 seats while the BJP came to power by winning more than 300 of the 403 seats.
The BJP had termed her resignation as a "drama" and pointed out that her tenure in the House was anyway coming to an end in April next year.
