In this thought-provoking episode of Facts & Figures, Hemant dives deep into the Bahujan Samaj Party’s (BSP) massive rally held on Kanshi Ram Jayanti (9th October) at Rama Bai Ambedkar Maidan, Lucknow — a rally that reignited hopes of Mayawati’s political comeback and shook Uttar Pradesh’s political scene.
Millions of Bahujans gathered from across the state, chanting “Jai Bhim” and “Behenji Zindabad,” turning the ground into a sea of blue flags and dust. But amid this grand show of strength, one thing stood out — Mayawati’s surprising praise for Yogi Adityanath and the BJP government, while attacking the Samajwadi Party and Congress. This unusual tone raised a big question: Has BSP drifted away from its original mission of fighting for the oppressed and marginalized?
This episode examines how a party built on the ideals of Jyotiba Phule, Babasaheb Ambedkar, and Kanshi Ram now finds itself at a crossroads. From rising atrocities against Dalits and backward communities, to the shrinking power of reservation and privatization of jobs — the struggle for social justice seems to have lost its voice.
Is Mayawati preparing for 2027 with a new strategy, or has BSP’s ideology been compromised? Watch this detailed breakdown as Hemant from Molitics uncovers the political calculations, contradictions, and the silent storm brewing in Uttar Pradesh’s Dalit politics.
