BSP chief Mayawati criticised the Samajwadi Party’s ‘PDA Chariot’ ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, questioning its colour scheme and electoral strategy. She also accused the SP of shifting positions on social groups and highlighted BSP’s Ambedkarite ideology

  BSP chief Mayawati criticised the SP, Congress and other opposition parties for using blue symbols while allegedly retaining casteist and narrow-minded attitudes. She accused them of political opportunism, defended the BSP as the genuine Ambedkarite party and questioned Congress’s political prospects 

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati expelled her nephew Akash Anand from the party, citing his prioritisation of personal ties over political responsibilities. The announcement followed the retirement of his father-in-law and former Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Siddharth, who was earlier expelled for alleged anti-party activities.

BSP chief Mayawati announced that the party will contest the upcoming Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Uttarakhand independently, ruling out alliances. She directed workers to strengthen grassroots organisation, select credible candidates and intensify preparations ahead of the polls

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.

Despite a promising start with a potential to emerge as a pan-India force, Mayawati’s political journey appears to be going off track
