New Delhi:
Today is the 69th birthday of former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and BSP leader Mayawati. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav have wished him on his birthday. Mayawati’s party Bahujan Samaj Party is celebrating her birthday as Welfare Day. BSP stars are in trouble these days in the politics of the country and Uttar Pradesh. In such a situation, it is expected that Mayawati can announce a roadmap for the 2027 assembly elections on her birthday.
Where was Mayawati born
Mayawati was born on 15 January 1956 in Delhi. His family was a resident of a village in today’s Gautam Buddha Nagar. Mayawati is the third among her siblings. Raised in a very ordinary family, Mayawati made her mark in politics through struggle. She has the distinction of being the first Dalit woman Chief Minister of the country. She sat on the chair of Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh for different periods of time four times.
Hearty congratulations to former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Ms. Mayawati ji on her birthday!
Lord Shri Ram wishes you long life and good health.@Mayawati

Mayawati, once known as the Iron Lady, is in trouble in the political field. BSP, which has formed the government four times in Uttar Pradesh, has only one MLA in the assembly. At the same time, BSP’s numbers in Parliament are zero. In this situation, the biggest challenge before Mayawati is to re-establish BSP. It is expected that he will announce a roadmap for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections on his birthday. For this reason, Mayawati has decided not to contest the assembly elections to be held in Milkipur, Ayodhya.
Ms. @Mayawati Hearty congratulations and many best wishes to you on your birthday.

How is the condition of BSP?
To keep BSP relevant in the politics of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati has called a meeting of senior party officials on the next day of her birthday. In this meeting, the party’s membership campaign, organization expansion, organizing training camps for workers and alliances can be discussed. The party is trying to regain its lost support base. For this, it is making efforts to take back its old leaders and workers.
How desperate the BSP is to regain its lost support base can be understood from the fact that the party which once kept distance from by-elections is also contesting the by-elections. But he is not getting success. In the by-elections for nine seats of the UP Assembly held in November last year, BSP contested all the seats, but did not win anywhere. At many places she could not even save her security deposit. This was when she had earlier won many of the by-election seats. Before this, she had also contested the by-elections for five seats held along with the Lok Sabha elections. But he did not get any success.
From whom is BSP facing challenge?
The biggest challenge for BSP in Uttar Pradesh is Chandrashekhar Azad’s Azad Samaj Party. BSP’s vote bank is rapidly shifting towards them. To counter Chandrashekhar, Mayawati made her nephew Akash Anand the national coordinator of the party but things did not work out. BSP could not win any seat in the Lok Sabha elections and assembly elections. In such a situation, people’s eyes are now on Mayawati to see what plan she announces on her birthday to rescue the party from this situation.
