LUCKNOW: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) National President Mayawati reiterated her stand of going solo in the 2027 UP assembly elections, ruling out any prospect of an electoral alliance with any party.
While interacting with media persons at her residence here on Wednesday, the BSP chief made it clear that she would contest the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections independently, dismissing speculations about any alliance.
She described such reports of alleged increasing proximity of the BSP with the ruling BJP as “fake” and a conspiracy against the BSP.
She stressed that the party aimed at securing a full majority on its own.
Mayawati addressed recent discussions suggesting that BSP might form alliances in the upcoming elections.
“Amidst selfish leaders’ chatter, some media reports claim BSP will contest the next UP assembly election as part of an alliance. This is entirely misleading and fabricated,” she said, calling the news “completely false, baseless, and concocted.”
Mayawati also criticised the media for allegedly amplifying such rumours, warning them not to “play like a flying kite, ridiculing them.”
She highlighted that BSP’s decision to contest alone was already declared in public multiple times, including during a grand rally in Lucknow on October 9, 2025, on Kanshi Ram’s death anniversary.
Targeting the political rivals, including Congress, Samajwadi Party, and BJP, Mayawati said: “These parties have a narrow outlook and are anti-Babasaheb Ambedkar. Their idea of an alliance with the Ambedkarite BSP is purely for electoral gains and votes. There’s no benefit for BSP in that.”
She urged party workers to remain focused on ‘Mission-2027’ independently, stating, “Ignoring baseless and fabricated claims, BSP will walk steadfastly like the elephant and aim at forming a full majority government, just like in 2007.”
Addressing rumours about her newly allotted Type-8 bungalow in Delhi, Mayawati said it was provided for security reasons.
“The current BJP government, too, had allotted several bungalows, but they were not taken due to security concerns. I have been allotted Type-8 bungalow and have accepted it,” she explained.
She referred to the June 2, 1995 Lucknow State Guest House incident, stating that since then she had been under special high-level security, which has now been further enhanced.
“It is inappropriate to indulge in narrow and malicious politics over this,” she added. In the same vein, Mayawati claimed that as the elections approached, opposition parties would increase their attempts to undermine BSP through various tactics.
She urged her supporters to place “firm trust in the party and its iron leadership,” and to continue working with full dedication to strengthen the Ambedkarite movement based on self-respect and dignity.
