| UP Polls: BSP win a sweetener for sugar mills |
| BS Reporter / New Delhi May 12, 2007 |
| Dalit leader Mayawati and her Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) emerged victorious in the elections to the Uttar Pradesh legislative Assembly, raising the hopes of sugar mill owners and small entrepreneurs in the state. As sugarcane farmers and large landowners do not form a part of her vote bank, Mayawati is expected not to raise further the minimum support price for sugarcane when mills go on stream in October this year. |
