Overview

• Mayawati chaired a state-level review in Lucknow, where the BSP said roughly 80% of its committee formation drive is complete and instructed cadres to finish the rest after the Oct. 9 programme.
• The tribute gathering will be held at the Manyawar Shri Kanshi Ram Smarak Sthal in Lucknow, with Mayawati leading the event and outlining the party’s roadmap.
• Organisers have set expansive mobilisation goals, including large turnout targets, bus arrangements from each assembly constituency, and accommodation booked at Ramabai Ambedkar Maidan for arriving workers.
• Mayawati warned of a political conspiracy to inflame communal tensions through disrespect to religious sites and figures, urging strict legal action and a rejection of divisive politics.
• She also criticised the sharp US tariff on Indian goods, urging the BJP-led Centre to pursue reforms to shield livelihoods, as the party frames the rally as a springboard to the 2027 UP election; reports noted Akash Anand’s absence from the review meeting.
