LUCKNOW: BSP chief Mayawati held a meeting with over 500 party workers here on Thursday in the run up to the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, scheduled for 2027.
As per the sources, Mayawati guided party leaders on election preparations and outlined the strategy for securing a fifth term for the BSP in Uttar Pradesh.
On October 9, Mayawati held a massive rally in Lucknow to mark BSP founder president Kanshiram's death anniversary, attracting around 5 lakh people.
Upbeat over the success of BSP rally in state capital, Mayawati took a jibe at Samajwadi Party, saying that the rally had “deflated the SP’s PDA narrative.”
She further said that the SP never respected Kanshiram. “They never observed his death anniversary while being in power. They even changed the names of the programmes and projects named after him,” said Mayawati.
“They forget PDA while being in power. They are reminded of PDA only when out of power,” asserted the BSP chief.
Mayawati also instructed the party leaders to work at the grassroots to meet the upcoming challenge of panchayat polls next year.
In addition to her grassroots strategy, the BSP chief also stressed on focusing on consolidating support from various communities, including Muslims, OBCs, Dalits, and Brahmins, through its ‘bhaichara committees’.
As per the sources, the upcoming National Executive meeting of the party on October 19 will include coordinators from various states as well as the National Coordinator.
With assembly elections scheduled in several states in 2026 and 2027, the meeting will focus on formulating the BSP's strategy for these elections.
Additionally, the National Coordinator for Uttar Pradesh will work on a roadmap to strengthen the party by staying active in both their assigned states and in Uttar Pradesh itself.
