Mayawati Announces BSP Will Contest 2027 UP Elections Independently

BSP chief Mayawati announced that the party will contest all elections independently, including the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, aiming to form a majority government. She emphasized the party's commitment to representing Brahmins and other communities, criticizing BJP, SP, and Congress for neglecting certain groups. Mayawati raised concerns about electronic voting machine (EVM) integrity and stated that future alliances would depend on partners effectively transferring votes, a scenario she said would take years to materialize.
