BSP Observes Kanshi Ram’s 20th Death Anniversary Amid Party Rejuvenation Efforts
The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) marked the 20th death anniversary of its founder Kanshi Ram with tributes led by party chief Mayawati in Lucknow. Mayawati highlighted Kanshi Ram's role in empowering marginalized communities and recalled the BSP's four terms in Uttar Pradesh under her leadership. The party aims to rejuvenate its presence ahead of the 2027 assembly elections amid declining vote shares and the risk of losing national party status following recent electoral setbacks.
