Overview
- At a Lucknow press conference on her 70th birthday, Mayawati said the BSP will contest all elections nationwide independently, including the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls.
- She ruled out near-term coalitions, saying any future alliance would require proven vote transfer—particularly of upper-caste voters—and would likely take years to materialize.
- Positioning to broaden the party’s base, she appealed to Brahmins and other upper-caste groups, saying they need respect, representation, and livelihood security under a future BSP government.
- She alleged manipulation involving electronic voting machines in past polls but asserted the BSP will continue to contest with full strength across the country.
- Marking the day observed by the party as Jan Kalyankari Diwas, she criticized the BJP, SP, and Congress over neglect and injustice, as Yogi Adityanath and Akhilesh Yadav publicly extended birthday wishes.
