Скачать или смотреть BSP's 'Mega Rally' on October 9, All Eyes on What Mayawati Will Signal

Mayawati’s strong presence could turn the 2027 assembly elections into a triangular contest, unlike the 2024 general elections, which were essentially bipolar between the BJP-led NDA and the Congress-led INDIA Bloc.


The Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) is set to organise a ‘mega rally’ on October 9 in Lucknow, aiming to rejuvenate the party after a series of electoral defeats. All major political players are closely watching the rally, which coincides with the death anniversary of the party’s founder, late Kanshi Ram. Many believe that if the BSP revives, it could significantly reshape Uttar Pradesh’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 assembly elections.

For the first time in years, the BSP cadre appears to have pulled up its socks, mobilising to reclaim the party’s past glory. To rally supporters, the party has employed multiple communication strategies – from road-corner meetings to distributing pamphlets featuring Dalit icons and slogans like, “Dalit, Pichde, Alpasankhyak ki awaaz, Bahujan Samaj ka naya aagaz” (Voice of Dalits, OBCs, and minorities – a new beginning for Bahujan society).
