Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) was once one of the most powerful political parties in Uttar Pradesh but now it is going through its worst phase. The situation is such that in the year 2026, BSP will be completely out of the country’s Parliament for the first time. BSP does not have a single member in the Lok Sabha and now the tenure of the only MP in the Rajya Sabha, Ramji Gautam, is also about to end.

Ten MPs from Uttar Pradesh are retiring from Rajya Sabha in November 2026. Of these, eight Bharatiya Janata Party and one Rajya Sabha MP each from SP and BSP will retire. Among these, the names of BJP MPs Brijlal, Seema Dwivedi, Dinesh Sharma, Neeraj Shekhar, Chandraprabha, Hardeep Singh Puri, Arun Singh and BL Verma are. At the same time, the tenure of SP’s Ram Gopal Yadav and BSP’s Ramji Gautam is also ending.

Let us tell you that BSP was founded by Kanshi Ram on 16 April 1984. Within a few years of its establishment, the voice of BSP started resonating from Parliament to Legislative Assemblies. But now this will be the first time when BSP’s vote in Parliament, the temple of democracy in the country, will be reduced to zero.

BSP’s voice will be lost in Parliament

Ramji Gautam is the only BSP MP left in Rajya Sabha. Who went to elections in the year 2019 with the support of BJP. After six years, his tenure as MP will end in November next year. After which, along with the Lok Sabha, BSP’s position in the Rajya Sabha will also become zero.

In such a situation, this will be the first time after 36 years that there will not be a single member speaking for BSP from both the Houses of Parliament. Looking at the equation of Rajya Sabha elections, it is not possible for BSP to get even a single seat in next year’s elections. BSP has only one MLA. Whereas according to the equations, support of 37 MLAs is necessary for one Rajya Sabha seat.

BSP is going through its worst phase

Bahujan Samaj Party was formed in the year 1984, after which BSP progressed rapidly and became the largest political party of Dalits. BSP not only became strong as a regional party but its stature in national politics had also become quite strong. In 2009, BSP won 21 Lok Sabha seats with 6.17% vote share and emerged as the third largest party at the national level.

In 2014, amid the Narendra Modi wave, BSP did not win a single Lok Sabha seat but the party secured 4.19% votes. In 2019, BSP-SP contested the elections in alliance and BSP won ten seats. But after a few days BSP broke the alliance.

By 2024, BSP continued to decline and the party’s vote share fell to 2.07% and could not win even a single seat. At the same time, the situation of BSP in UP Assembly is also very bad. In 2022, only one MLA of BSP could win the election. Last year, BSP also came to a position of zero in the Legislative Council because the tenure of the party’s only MLC Bhim Rao Ambedkar also ended.

Election reforms are being discussed in the winter session of Parliament on Tuesday (9 December). In which the opposition parties are giving their displeasure and arguments regarding the current SIR process. Meanwhile, Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati has also put forward three demands from her party amid the election reform discussion. In this, he demanded to extend the time limit of SIR process in UP, among the leaders with criminal image, the leader should be held responsible instead of the party and to hold elections twice through ballot paper instead of EVM.

BSP supremo Mayawati rejected the argument of the Election Commission which said that ballot paper would take more time. Mayawati made a post this afternoon on her social media account X regarding these three demands.

‘Sir The deadline should be extended immediately.

BSP supremo Mayawati said that BSP is not against the system which is running in the entire country regarding SIR. But BSP says that in this regard, whatever process is to be done to fill the names in the voter list, the time limit set for it is very short, due to which there is a lot of pressure on the BLOs and many BLOs have even lost their lives due to the pressure of work. Where there are crores of voters, BLOs should get proper time and especially in a state where there are no elections anytime soon.

The former CM said, “There are more than 15.40 crore voters in Uttar Pradesh and if an attempt is made to complete the SIR work there in a hurry, then the result will be that many legitimate voters, especially those who are poor and have gone out for work, then their names will be left out of the voter list and they will be deprived of the constitutional right to vote given to such persons by Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar.” Which would be completely unfair. Therefore, instead of rushing to complete the SIR process, appropriate time should be given, that is, the present time limit should be extended.

Stop putting the entire burden of criminal candidates on the party

He said, “Regarding his second demand, he wrote that instructions have been issued by the Election Commission as per the directions of the Supreme Court. Such people, who have any criminal history, will have to give complete details of their criminal history in their affidavit and along with this they will also have to publish the complete details in the local newspapers. And it will also be the responsibility of the political party from which they are contesting the elections to publish this information in the national newspapers as well.”

Mayawati said, “In this regard, BSP says that it has often been found that among the people who are given tickets/symbols to contest elections, some people do not disclose their criminal history to the party and in respect of some people, the party comes to know about it only at the time of scrutiny, due to which the responsibility falls on the party and anyway, the responsibility of publishing the criminal history of such candidates in the national newspapers lies with the party. It has been inserted above.”

The former Chief Minister said, “Whereas in this regard, our party’s suggestion is that the responsibility of completing all the formalities regarding candidates with criminal background should be put on them and not on the party. And if in future it is known that a candidate has hidden his criminal history, then every kind of legal action and responsibility related to it should also fall on him and not on the party.”

‘EVM But don’t trust’

On behalf of the BSP, Mayawati once again raised the issue of EVM prominently, saying, “In order to remove the complaints of frequent irregularities in EVMs which are expressed during and after the elections and to create full confidence of everyone in the election process, now instead of voting through EVMs, the process of voting through ballot papers should be implemented again and if for some reason this cannot be done now, then at least in the VVPAT box.” All the slips that fall during voting should be counted and matched with the EVM votes in all the booths.

Mayawati further said, “The reason given by the Election Commission for not doing this is that it will take a lot of time, whereas their argument is not justified at all. Because if only a few more hours are spent in counting, then it should not make any difference, whereas the election process of casting votes lasts for months. And this is also necessary because this will increase the confidence of the general public of the country in the election process and will also put a complete stop to many such doubts that arise, which is in the interest of the country. Will happen.”

However, amidst the election reform discussion, these three demands by BSP have worked as a lifeline for the opposition in putting pressure on the Election Commission and the government.

A huge tribute program is being organized by Bahujan Samaj Party on the 69th Mahaparinirvan Day of Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. This main program will be organized on 6 December 2025 at the National Dalit Inspiration Site in Noida. During this time, supporters from 6 divisions, Uttarakhand and Delhi will gather here to offer floral tributes.

BSP supremo Mayawati was to participate in this important program but she herself announced the cancellation of the proposed rally by posting on social media platform X. He cited the problems being faced by the common people as the reason for canceling the rally. She said that she will personally pay tribute to Baba Saheb at her residence in Lucknow.

Along with this, Mayawati also appealed to other people that the workers should pay homage peacefully without any political pretense. Now BSP’s National Coordinator Akash Anand will be present as the chief guest in this program. Along with this, National Vice President Anand Kumar will also participate in the program.

Then the wreath laying program will start from 8:00 am. All the respected officials, workers and supporters of the party at district, division and assembly level are busy in preparations. During this time, along with the important work of special intensive checking of the voter list, he is also ensuring the preparations for this program.

BSP supremo’s face will be missing from Noida rally

Let us tell you that on December 6, lakhs of BSP supporters will pay their tribute to Baba Saheb. This event is being called a BSP master stroke in the political circles in view of the upcoming assembly elections in UP. However, on December 6, blue flags will be waved on the streets of Noida but the face of the BSP supremo will remain missing.

‘Vladimir Putin has come to do business, not to help’, Akhilesh Yadav said on the visit of Russian President

The winter session of Parliament is starting today from 1st December. But the opposition can create ruckus regarding the issue of SIR, hence this session is also likely to be turbulent. Meanwhile, BSP supremo Mayawati has demanded to run the session in an organized manner so that issues of public interest can be discussed.

Mayawati spoke about the Parliament session

BSP supremo Mayawati posted on her official social media account

Among the important and vital issues of the country and public interest, especially the huge problems being faced due to air pollution in the capital Delhi etc. and the intensive revision of voter list i.e. S.I.R. Practically, the problems and objections being faced regarding this and the problems of the BLOs who are the main actors of this work and the tragic incidents of suicide etc. by them, can be properly discussed and meaningful efforts can be made towards finding appropriate solutions to them.

Merely making allegations and counter-allegations will not work, but in order to run the Parliament smoothly to serve the larger country and public interest, both the government and the opposition need to rise above political interests and be completely sensitive and serious, this is the request.

Opposition will oppose SIR

Let us tell you that the opposition is continuously attacking the central government regarding the voter list revision process in 12 states of the country. Samajwadi Party MP Ram Gopal Yadav has made it clear that if SIR is not discussed, his MPs will not allow Parliament to function. He said that this issue is being raised because many irregularities have been seen in it.

Apart from SIR, the opposition may demand discussion on many other issues including Delhi blasts, air pollution.

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) President and former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Mayawati has raised questions on the fairness of Bihar elections. He said, ‘Had the elections been completely free and fair, BSP would have definitely won more seats.’

Let us tell you, in the Bihar Assembly elections, out of total 243 seats, BSP has won only one seat. BSP supremo Mayawati, while sharing the post on her

He said that the administration there and all the opposition parties tried their best to defeat the BSP candidate on the pretext of repeated counting of votes, but due to the brave workers of the party standing firm all the time, this conspiracy of the opponents could not succeed.

He said that despite giving a tough fight to the opponents in other seats of this region of Bihar, BSP candidates could not win the elections, whereas if the elections had been completely free and fair, then according to the feedback received from the people, BSP would have definitely won many more seats.

He said that but this could not happen. He told his party workers not to panic and work with more preparation in the future.

NDA achieved a landslide victory

The ruling National Democratic Alliance in Bihar registered a spectacular victory on Friday by winning 202 seats in the elections for the 243-member Bihar Assembly. Bharatiya Janata Party emerged as the largest party by winning 89 seats. Janata Dal United won 85 seats, while Union Minister Chirag Paswan-led Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) got 19 seats.

BSP President Mayawati has once again given a big statement in the politics of Uttar Pradesh and has appealed to the Muslim community to support BSP instead of SP and Congress. He said that if the Muslim community wants to defeat the deadly politics of BJP, then it should unite and vote in favor of BSP.

Mayawati presided over a special meeting of BSP ‘Muslim Samaj Bhaichara Sangathan’ in Lucknow on Wednesday (29 October). In this meeting, he gave directions to connect the Muslim community with BSP and increase the support base of the party. He said that Samajwadi Party and Congress have been getting the support of Muslim community for a long time, but both the parties have failed to defeat BJP.

If we get the support of Muslim community, we will form the government again – Mayawati

Mayawati said that from the 2022 assembly elections till now, it is clear that the Muslim community supported SP with body, mind and money, but BJP returned to power. On the contrary, even when BSP had limited support from the Muslim community, we were successful in forming a majority government in 2007.

SP and Congress have always been anti-Dalit

The former Chief Minister alleged that both SP and Congress have historically been doing ‘anti-Dalit, anti-backward and anti-Muslim’ politics. He said that the wrong policies and opportunistic politics of these parties strengthened BJP in Uttar Pradesh. SP and Congress always adopted every possible trick to weaken BSP, but made no concrete efforts to stop BJP.

Our government has always helped the Muslim community – Mayawati

Recalling her tenure as Chief Minister, Mayawati said that the BSP government gave security, respect and representation to Muslims. Our government protected the life, property and faith of the Muslim community. We strictly curbed riots and communalism and freed Uttar Pradesh from fear and anarchy.

He said that the mission of BSP is not just to gain power but to provide a dignified life to Dalits, backward classes, tribals, Muslims and other deprived sections through political empowerment.

These BSP officials were present in the organization meeting

The state president of the party, divisional in-charge and all the district heads were also present in the meeting of ‘Muslim Samaj Bhaichara Sangathan’. Mayawati gave instructions to the leaders regarding the revision of the voter list at the booth level and said that no eligible voter should be left out of the list.

This statement of Mayawati is being considered as a new challenge for the SP-Congress alliance, because BSP is working on a strategy to make a big dent in Muslim votes in the upcoming elections.

Before the assembly elections 2027 in Uttar Pradesh, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati is once again going to increase the tension of the opposition parties. Before the assembly elections 2027, BSP has started working on a big strategy. BSP is going to hold a big meeting at the Mandal level to bring the Muslim vote bank into its fold.

According to media reports, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati will address a special divisional level meeting of the party’s ‘Muslim Samaj Bhaichara Sangathan’ in Lucknow on Wednesday (October 29). This is part of efforts to strengthen the party’s reach among the Muslim community.

Meeting will be held at Lucknow party headquarters on 29 October

According to a statement issued from BSP’s Uttar Pradesh office on Tuesday, the meeting will be held on October 29 at 11 am at the party’s state headquarters at 12- Mall Avenue. This will be a special divisional level meeting which will be held as part of efforts to further integrate the Muslim community in BSP. The party said that Mayawati will be the chief guest in this program.

Will discuss the Election Commission’s instructions on SIR

The statement further said that the BSP president will also talk about the instructions recently issued by the Election Commission in the matter of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists. Earlier this month, BSP had held a public meeting in Lucknow on October 9, on the death anniversary of the party’s founding Dalit leader Kanshi Ram.

Mayawati became active before 2027 elections

BSP supremo Mayawati seems to be active in instilling enthusiasm among the party and workers before the assembly elections 2027. Earlier, Mayawati had organized a huge rally on October 9 on the occasion of the death anniversary of BSP founder Kanshi Ram to give a big message to the opposition.

Mayawati said, “This time, along with me, all of you also broke all the previous records in terms of crowd by coming in lakhs to pay homage to revered Kanshi Ram ji at this place.”

Politics has intensified over the controversial statement of BJP leader Raghavendra Pratap Singh about bringing ten Muslim girls. Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati reacted sharply to this and called it a disgusting and narrow statement. He said that strict action should be taken against such people.

BSP supremo wrote on her social media account naughty This poisonous violent game of elements is highly condemnable.

Such criminal, anarchic and anti-social elements are an open challenge and threat to a civilized and constitutional government. Instead of giving them encouragement and protection, the governments should take strict legal action against such people to ensure that the rule of law is established, keeping in mind the interest and welfare of crores of people of the state, this is in the larger interest of the people and the country.

BJP leader had given a controversial statement

In fact, Raghavendra Pratap Singh, former BJP MLA from Siddharthnagar district of UP, gave a controversial statement in a public meeting on 16 October and asked Hindu youth to pick up Muslim girls. He said, “If Muslim boys take two Hindu girls and convert them into Muslims, then you bring 10 Muslim girls.

He further said that we will bear the entire expenses of the wedding. Guarantee security. This is not the era of Akhilesh Yadav. This is the era of Yogi ji who used to appease Muslims. There is no need to be afraid. Do whatever you want, we are with you. But we are not able to digest what they have given us, the revenge for this should be heavy.”

The video went viral on social media

This video of BJP leader is now going viral on social media. After which the opposition parties are trying to corner BJP. Congress also termed Raghavendra Pratap Singh’s statement as shameful and said that BJP’s politics has become a way to mislead the youth.

Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati is holding an important meeting at the party’s state office in Lucknow today. This meeting has been called at the central office of BSP located at Mall Avenue, Lucknow. Party officials from all the districts of UP are included in this meeting but BSP supremo’s nephew Akash Anand has not reached this meeting.

This meeting is considered very important in view of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. In which Mayawati will give directions to the party leaders regarding the preparations for the assembly elections. Senior BSP leaders, district presidents, coordinators and other key officials from across the state have participated in this meeting.

Akash Anand did not attend the meeting

Many speculations have started regarding Akash Anand not attending the BSP meeting. It is being told that Akash Anand is on a tour of Bihar these days, where he is busy making strategies with party workers regarding the Bihar Assembly elections.

Let us inform that after the success of the ‘Maha Sankalp Rally’ organized on the 19th death anniversary of Kanshi Ram on October 9, the upcoming strategy and organizational issues of the party will be discussed. Emphasis will be laid on strengthening the party’s organization and activating it up to the booth level.

Brainstorming on strategy for 2027 elections

Efforts will be made through brotherhood committees to help the faces of Muslims, extremely backward people, Dalits and Brahmins. Mayawati’s nephew Akash Anand will hold public meetings across the state and promote party activities. The decisions taken in this meeting can strengthen the revival of BSP and the prospects of the party in the 2027 assembly elections.

In the statement issued by the party, it has been said that the rally held in Lucknow on October 9 was very successful. The party has thanked all the officials and workers for this. BSP believes that people are still standing with the party. In such a situation, the party will have to make preparations from now itself for the upcoming elections.
