The meeting aimed to revive the party’s stronghold, which is under question since the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.

Moreover, the former CM has instructed senior party members to reach out to the masses to give a tough fight to Bhartiya Janata Party.

“Former MP Mayawati, chaired a state-level meeting with senior office bearers here today. Senior people were entrusted with new important responsibilities, in a view to emerge as a strong competitor against the Bhartiya Janta Party ahead of the local body elections,” a statement released by BSP said.

The statement further said, “Mayawati also addressed party members about the special membership drive of the party which has been going on since June 30 this year. The opposing parties are relentlessly active in weakening BSP by adopting tactics.”

Earlier in September the BSP chief slammed Samajwadi Party and said the party failed to provide tough competition to the BJP.

Taking to Twitter she lashed out at both BJP and SP, “The secular forces of Uttar Pradesh voted against the extreme casteist, communal and anti-public interest policies of the BJP and made the SP the main opposition party here, but SP is clearly failing to give a tough fight to the BJP. Why? “
