Extending support to 'Bharat Bandh' call given by farmers, Mayawati also criticised Yogi Adityanath govt's cabinet expansion as an 'effort to mobilise voters on the basis of caste'.
Mayawati insists she will not anoint a successor as she is healthy, but there are at least 3 young faces in the BSP whom party leaders say are the second rung of leadership.
Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati on Sunday categorically denied entering into an alliance with Asaduddin Owaisi's party AIMIM in the upcoming UP Assembly elections.
The alliance's revival comes at a time when SAD is facing a backlash among Sikh farm workers in Punjab and the Mayawati-led BSP is fighting for survival in UP.
On Thursday, the BSP expelled MLAs Lalji Verma and Ram Achal Rajbhar, taking the total number of legislators removed by the party to 11, in just the last 18 months.
Congress and Samajawadi Party, though, believe it doesn’t matter what Mayawati's BSP decides because party 'isn’t in the race for 2022 UP assembly election'.
In interview with ThePrint, Chandra Shekhar Aazad said he does not see himself as just a Dalit leader & does not seek ‘validation of veterans’, in response to Mayawati attacking him.
Last week, BSP chief Mayawati had said that to ensure the defeat of SP candidates in future elections, the BSP would vote for the BJP or any other party's candidate.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
