Lucknow, 08

March (HS): Amid criticism over failures at President Droupad Murmu's event in

West Bengal, BSP president Mayawati stated on Sunday that everyone must respect

the President's office in line with the values and dignity of the Constitution

and avoid politicizing constitutional positions in any way.

President

Murmu expressed disappointment with the limited participation at a tribal

community celebration near Bagdogra airport on Saturday, questioning the choice

to change the location from Bidhannagar. She also mentioned the absence of West

Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her ministers during her visit.

In a post

on X, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) head stated, Everyone must respect

the office of the President in accordance with the ideals and dignity of the Constitution

and avoid politicizing constitutional positions in any manner.

She

stated that everyone must respect the President's office and adhere to the

established etiquette. President Murmu is not just a woman but also a tribal

person, and the recent events during her visit to West Bengal should not have

occurred, she said. What transpired during the President's recent visit to West

Bengal was unnecessary. Mayawati wrote that it is terribly regrettable. The

former Uttar Pradesh chief minister expressed alarm over the increasing

politicisation of the Lok Sabha Speaker's job in recent years. She stated

that constitutional positions should be prioritized before party politics and

that their dignity should be upheld by everyone.

Mayawati

also expressed optimism that the forthcoming session of Parliament, which

begins on Monday, will function smoothly and in the best interests of the

nation and the people. People

anticipate the session to go well and to address national and public welfare

problems. This is also the necessity of the hour, she said.
