Lucknow: After months of political silence, BSP supremo Mayawati staged a massive rally in Lucknow, reigniting political activity across Uttar Pradesh. While BSP leaders hailed the rally as a major success, political analysts claimed that the large turnout was made possible due to “special” backing, indicating deeper political equations at play.
Attack on Congress and SP, Silence on BJP
In a calculated move, Mayawati targeted the Congress and Samajwadi Party with sharp criticism, but refrained from directly attacking the BJP. This selective aggression is being seen as a sign of pressure and strategic caution. Analysts believe she fears legal or political repercussions if she openly opposes the ruling party. Her tone hinted at an internal struggle—wanting to speak against the BJP but choosing restraint.
The Battle of Power vs People
The emerging PDA (Backward-Dalit-Minority) alliance has become a concern for both the ruling establishment and the BSP. However, the voters are now more aware, carefully evaluating which party truly works for their welfare. Experts suggest that a significant section of society has already decided to support anti-BJP forces in the upcoming elections.
2027 Elections: A Decisive Turning Point
The government’s bulldozer politics and alleged oppressive policies could become a major electoral challenge. The opposition hopes the public will respond strongly in the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
Mayawati’s rally clearly indicates that the BSP is attempting to regain relevance in the power equation. Her attacks on Congress and SP, combined with indirect distance from the BJP, reflect the political compulsions shaping her strategy.
The big question now is: Will the BSP assert independent politics, or will it yield to pressure and lose its identity?
The 2027 election will be the ultimate test—both for Mayawati’s leadership and the future of Uttar Pradesh’s political landscape.
