In a sharp political volley, Mayawati, the helm of Bahujan Samaj Party, has condemned the Uttar Pradesh 2026-27 budget as predominantly populist with scant regard for genuine public good. Unveiled in the state legislature, its declarations, she warned, threaten to join the ranks of unfulfilled vows absent rigorous follow-through.
Posting on X, the veteran leader critiqued the budget’s imbalance: flashy populism eclipses meaningful elevation of all communities and statewide growth. She called for meticulous, time-bound delivery of assurances to salvage credibility.
Mayawati lamented the oversight of past budget performance metrics, a practice that could bolster trust. Instead, this budget chases publicity, eroding faith in brighter futures. The state’s populace yearns for sustainable livelihoods, necessitating proactive measures on employment, SC/ST/OBC protections, and backlog clearances.
Referencing BSP’s four UP governments as benchmarks, she advised BJP to honor ‘welfare for all’ constitutionally, crafting budgets that empower the impoverished and farmers equitably.
BSP’s momentum builds through strategic conclaves with Rajasthan and two other states’ leaders, scrutinizing progress on national strategies for political mobilization and inclusive outreach. The clarion call: emulate UP’s BSP success to claim governance, thereby actualizing Dr. Ambedkar’s envisioned rights for Bahujans through effective reservations—realized profoundly in BSP’s rule.
