Lucknow, 16 Oct (HS):

Mayawati, the president of the BSP, accused the Congress and Samajwadi Party of

lacking political honesty on Thursday, claiming that only her party is devoted

to the welfare and constitutional rights of marginalized populations. Addressing

a meeting of the party's Uttar Pradesh unit, she urged all party members to

commit their whole efforts and resources to the preparations for the 2027 state

Assembly elections, according to an official statement.

She stated that the party's goal is to secure the master key to political power

while also continuing its history of social and economic liberation. During the

meeting, she expressed emotional congratulations and thanks to all party office

bearers and workers for the historic success of the major state-level event

organized on October 9 at the Kanshi Ram Ji Memorial Site in Lucknow to mark

19th death anniversary of BSP founder, Kanshi Ram.

She slammed the

previous SP government, claiming that its casteist mindset caused it to ignore

memorials built during the BSP government and rename many new districts,

universities, colleges, hospitals, and other institutions named after great

Bahujan saints, gurus, and social reformers.

If they had not done this, and had not rendered different assistance

initiatives ineffectual, their names may not have been written in the dark

pages of history, as was the case with the infamous'state guest house incident'

on June 2, 1995. But their lack of contrition even now demonstrates nothing but

political malice, deception, and dishonesty, she claimed.

Mayawati went on to say that the BSP's character does not include practices

like bribery, deception, manipulation, and hidden conspiracy.

Mayawati stated that the BSP is funded

by the hard work of crores of impoverished, exploited, and oppressed people. That

is why, during my administrations, large-scale public welfare and development

projects were carried out with total honesty, devotion, and dedication to

people and country, rather than for political gain or vote-bank interests. According to her, the outcomes of these

initiatives demonstrate actual social transformation and economic independence.

On her birthday, January 15, Mayawati appealed to people to continue the

tradition of contributing financially to the party, saying, Through the

power of our vote, BSP seeks to obtain the master key of political power,

while transforming the 'bahujan' society from a dependent to a contributing

section of society. This requires

ongoing collaboration in spirit, effort, and resources.
