Mayawati Criticises Samajwadi Party's Rajya Sabha Nominations Over PDA Claims
BSP president Mayawati criticised the Samajwadi Party (SP) for alleged dynastic politics and favouring wealthy industrialists in its Rajya Sabha nominations from Uttar Pradesh. She highlighted the renomination of SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav and the nomination of Reliance executive Dhanraj Nathwani as examples contradicting the SP's PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) claims. Mayawati contrasted this with the BSP's approach of fielding candidates from underprivileged and weaker sections, urging voters not to be misled by the SP's narrative ahead of upcoming elections.
