New Delhi: Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati today announced the first list of candidates for 53 out of 58 seats in the first phase of upcoming UP Assembly elections. Announcing the list during her press conference, Mayawati said that all the parties were trying to prevent them from coming to power by forming alliances, but she said that she had confidence that people will bring her party back to power. She added that this time also her party will work for the welfare of all.
“We have finalised names of candidates for 53 out of 58 assembly seats and the names for remaining 5 seats will also be finalised in a day or two,” said Mayawati who also has her birthday today.
“In the upcoming assembly elections, the people will definitely bring our party to power again and I also want to assure them that after coming to power this time, our party will be here again like its previous regime," she added.
Targeting the opposition parties, Mayawati said, “People should beware of the tactics of the opposition. Avoid casteist and anti-BSP media. I have been in Lok Sabha 4 times, Rajya Sabha thrice, Vidhan Sabha twice and MLC twice. After Kanshi Ram ji, the responsibility of the party is on me, so I will not contest elections. If the government is formed, I will lead the government through the Legislative Council." Mayawati said, "The year 2022 is the year of hope. Change will happen. A book written by me 'Mere Sangharsh Mere Sansmaran (My Struggle My Memories)' is being released. This will prove to be an inspiration for the younger generation. BSP's Ambedkarite policy will continue to move forward."
