Mayawati, the former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh and head of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), has vowed to protect the Constitution against any political efforts to alter its quota provisions.

“I will not allow Congress, BJP, or any other party to change the Constitution for their political interests, especially regarding reservation,” she said on Monday on her X account, reigniting her image as an ardent supporter of marginalized people. BSP is prepared to combat it if necessary.

In addition, Mayawati criticized the eight years of BJP rule in Uttar Pradesh, pointing out the state of law and order’s decline and the public’s growing discontent.

She underlined the need of quick action and asked the administration to solve these urgent challenges. Mayawati is a fervent supporter of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, the man who drafted the Indian Constitution, and he still advocates for social change and equality.

She reiterated the BSP’s commitment to standing firmly against oppressive regimes, uplifting the oppressed, and making sure their voices are heard. “Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar had full knowledge of ‘Manusmriti,'” she said.

He is well aware of it, as is his disciple and the national head of the BSP, herself. It is also generally known that the BSP was founded in order to speak out against this system and assist those who are dissatisfied and disadvantaged in becoming self-sufficient.

Her most recent comments demonstrate her willingness to take on any constitutional problems, enhancing her standing as a powerful figure in Indian politics.

A metrical literature from the second century BCE to the second century CE, the Manusmriti is a lecture on dharma by Sage Manu and Bhrigu that covers obligations, rights, rules, behavior, and virtues.

Mayawati has been a pioneer in Indian politics for a long time, and her admirers call her “Behenji.”

She broke down obstacles to become one of India’s most powerful Dalit leaders, coming from a caste that had long been restricted to leather work and denied fundamental social rights.

Mayawati’s stint as chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, the biggest state in India, was often characterized by decisive governance, including some measures that delivered strong signals about social justice and law enforcement.

She gained reputation as a “rainbow coalition leader” for her creative political alliance that brought supporters from all castes together during her rise to power in Uttar Pradesh.

Dalit devotees still hold Mayawati in high regard despite accusations of wrongdoing.
