BSP national president and former chief minister Mayawati addressed a press conference in Lucknow on Tuesday, July 11. During her remarks, she appealed directly to the country’s Gen Z, meaning young people. Mayawati urged them to avoid alleged conspiracies involving both ruling and opposition parties. Instead, she advised youth to use political circumstances carefully while seeking solutions for their problems. According to her, rival camps could exploit young people for selfish political interests. She warned that such forces might gain unfair advantages by using their concerns.
Mayawati also said students and youngsters currently carry tremendous anger. Furthermore, she claimed her BSP government never allowed either group to feel disappointed. The former chief minister then targeted current policies concerning public and private sectors. She accused the government of weakening public-sector institutions while promoting private businesses. Consequently, Mayawati argued that capitalists across India continue gaining strength. Meanwhile, poor and unemployed people from every social section keep falling behind.
BSP Chief Demands Reservation Across Private Sector
Mayawati also targeted BJP and Congress while discussing her party’s governing approach. She said BSP never governed through casteist or capitalist thinking like those parties. Instead, she claimed her administration always followed the principle of ‘Sarvajan Hitay’. The phrase reflected her stated approach towards wider public welfare.
She further argued that reservation for Dalits, tribals, and other backward classes has almost disappeared. Despite this situation, Mayawati accused RSS members of working to make reservation ineffective. Therefore, she demanded representation within private employment similar to provisions available in government jobs. According to her, extending this system would address concerns arising from growing privatisation.
Mayawati Links BSP Strength to Upcoming State Elections
Mayawati then turned towards elections expected after some time in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Punjab. Against that political backdrop, she appealed to every social section for support. Specifically, the BSP chief urged voters to help her party succeed across these states.
She described strengthening BSP as a demand of the present time. Moreover, Mayawati linked that appeal with national and public interests. According to her, a stronger party could protect people belonging to every social group. She specifically mentioned students, tribal communities, backward classes, Muslims, farmers, labourers, traders, employees, and minorities. Finally, Mayawati said every section of society could lead a prosperous life through such political strength.
