Mayawati Alleges Bihar Vote Was Not Free or Fair After BSP Wins One Seat

She urges party workers to keep organizing in Bihar after the lone, razor-thin win.

Overview

  • The BSP contested 192 of Bihar’s 243 assembly seats but secured only Ramgarh in Kaimur district.
  • Satish Kumar Singh Yadav won Ramgarh by 30 votes, polling 72,689 to the BJP rival’s 72,659.
  • Mayawati claims repeated recounts and coordinated pressure by local officials and rival parties targeted BSP candidates.
  • She told supporters the party would have won more seats under fully fair conditions and thanked workers for holding firm during counting.
  • BSP leaders say the party posted a respectable vote share in roughly 10 to 15 constituencies, despite the overall setback, echoing a one-seat outcome also seen in 2020.
