Rahul Gandhi has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting that Bahujan Samaj Party founder Kanshi Ram be awarded the Bharat Ratna posthumously. The Congress leader highlighted Kanshi Ram’s role in mobilising Dalits and marginalised communities.

A minor commotion broke out at the Bahujan Samaj Party headquarters in Lucknow during Mayawati’s 70th birthday press conference after smoke filled the room due to a short circuit. Mayawati and all attendees remained safe, as the day was observed across Uttar Pradesh as ‘Jan Kalyankari Diwas’.

It has been a political rollercoaster for Akash, who was first named as her successor by Mayawati in December 2023

By declaring that there would be no successor in the party ‘till her last breath’, an irrepressible Mayawati may have crushed hopes of reviving the party

Mayawati's remarks came after Congress leader and former MP Udit Raj made some controversial comments and alleged death threats against her.

Mayawati also took serious objection to bulldozer action on people, saying it is used to punish the family of a person before being convicted. Educational institutes and hospitals linked to such people are being shut down, she said. "This is an extremely anti-people step,” Mayawati said.

Mayawati called a special meeting of senior leaders and district heads of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand to review the preparations for the Lok Sabha elections

BSP chief Mayawati on Friday welcomed the passage of the women's reservation bill in both Houses of Parliament but repeated her demand for quotas for women from the scheduled castes and tribes and the Other Backward Classes within the quota.

The Centre on Tuesday introduced a constitutional amendment bill to reserve one-third of seats in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies for women, reviving a bill pending for nearly three decades because of lack of consensus among parties.

Mayawati held a meeting with party leaders regarding selection of candidates for Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and also Jharkhand.
