In a renewed demand, BSP chief Mayawati has called on the central government to award the Bharat Ratna to Kanshi Ram, the founder of her party, urging not to repeat Congress's oversight with B R Ambedkar. The tribute coincides with Kanshi Ram's birth anniversary.
Mayawati criticized the Samajwadi Party, Congress, and BJP for superficial support of the Bahujan cause. She highlighted Kanshi Ram's work for an egalitarian society and pointed to the growing disconnect between the Muslim community and these parties.
Mayawati's remarks also addressed recent political narratives, including Rahul Gandhi's speculations about Kanshi Ram's potential political roles. She reiterated that only BSP truly advocates for the marginalized, urging the community to stay wary of other parties' intentions.
