Mayawati’s Lucknow Rally Relaunches BSP, Sets Solo Course for 2027

The show of strength is being treated as a visibility boost for a weakened organisation seeking a path back ahead of the next state election.

Overview

  • Following the event, Mayawati urged supporters to ignore rivals’ barbs and focus on “Mission 2027,” hailing what she called an unprecedented turnout with strong youth and women participation.
  • From the stage, she declared the party will contest the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections alone, citing past alliances that, she said, drained BSP votes without reciprocal transfers.
  • She thanked the Yogi Adityanath government for using ticket revenue to maintain Dalit memorials and accused the Samajwadi Party of neglect, prompting Akhilesh Yadav to allege BJP–BSP “internal collusion” and tout his own tribute plans.
  • Mayawati publicly elevated national coordinator Akash Anand, asking the cadre to stand with him as they have with her as part of the party’s organisational reset.
  • She blamed rivals for a “secret alliance” to block BSP victories and alleged vote-transfer tactics and EVM manipulation, while warning supporters against newer outfits she said were created to split Dalit votes.
