Mayawati Criticises Samajwadi Party for Dynastic Politics in RS Polls
BSP president Mayawati criticised the Samajwadi Party (SP) for practising dynastic politics and favouring wealthy industrialists in its Rajya Sabha nominations, citing the renomination of Ram Gopal Yadav and the selection of Reliance executive Dhanraj Parimal Nathwani. She contrasted this with the BSP's approach of fielding candidates from underprivileged and dedicated workers. Mayawati urged voters to be cautious of the SP's claims of representing backward and minority communities ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
