Mayawati Government

BSP president and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati expressed concern over "rising" crimes against women across the country and questioned governments' intentions and policies on women's safety.

BSP chief Mayawati targeted the central and Uttar Pradesh governments over the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, saying their "forceful interference" in matters of mosques, madrasas, and Waqf was against the country's Constitution.

Former BSP leader Raaj Kumar Anand, who was the Social Welfare Minister in the AAP government before joining Mayawati's party in May, on Wednesday joined the BJP.

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Saturday termed the murder of K Armstrong, president of the party's Tamil Nadu unit, as "brutal", and said the government must act to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Lok Sabha election results: Mayawati's BSP contested 79 seats in UP election and won zero, but a 9.3 per cent vote share, if it had allied with the opposition, could have created more instability in the widely-expected incoming BJP-led NDA government

A case of Model Code of Conduct violation was registered against BSP chief Mayawati's nephew Akash Anand and four others on Sunday for allegedly using objectionable language at a poll rally here, police said.

Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati today demanded that party founder Kanshi Ram should also get the Bharat Ratna as she welcomed the central government's decision to confer the award on former Bihar Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur.

BSP chief Mayawati on Monday asked Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government to shift her party's state office to a "safe" place to prevent the occurrence of any untoward incident that "can happen there at any time".

Bahujan Samaj Party leader Mayawati today asserted that her party would take a call on joining governments after upcoming assembly polls in states such as Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Telangana to ensure "balance of power".

BSP chief Mayawati on Saturday took a dig at the BJP, saying instead of spending its energy and resources on "non-essential" issues such as a uniform civil code, the party and its government should work for curbing inflation and alleviating poverty.

Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Sunday said her party is not opposed to the idea of a Uniform Civil Code (UCC), but does not endorse the way the BJP and its government "seek to implement it in the country".

Mayawati has said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's recent remarks on the "miserable condition" of Dalits and Muslims in the country is a "bitter truth" for which previous governments at the Centre were responsible.

A day after results of the urban local body polls in Uttar Pradesh were announced, Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati Sunday accused the ruling BJP of misusing government machinery, and said her party will not sit silently over it.

It would be better if the Supreme Court takes cognisance of this "extremely serious and worrisome" incident, which is being discussed across the country, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said.

Taking a dig at the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh government, BSP chief Mayawati said the death of a mother-daughter duo during an anti-encroachment drive in Kanpur Dehat had garnered more attention than the recent UP Global Investors Summit-2023.
