Ambedkar Samaj Party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ambedkar Samaj Party (Ambedkar Society Party) is a political party in India, that fights for the rights of dalits. The party is opposed to Hindu nationalism, which it sees as representing an upper caste minority despite the significant lower-caste presence in the Hindu Nationalist movement, a fact that their supporters have tacitly acknowledged[1]. ASP claims that Bahujan Samaj Party has betrayed dalits through its alliance with BJP. The leader of ASP is Tej Singh.
Singh is also commander-in-chief of the Bahujan Swayam Sewak Sanghathan, a militant dalit organization. BSS was founded 1995.
In the Lok Sabha elections 2004 ASP had launched nine candidates from Uttar Pradesh. Tej Singh stood as candidate from Aligarh and got 1 054 votes (0,17%).
