In another tweet, she said, not only Azamgarh, but BSP's struggle and efforts have to be continued in the entire UP to convert the groundwork into votes.

New Delhi: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Monday appreciated the performance of her party in the Lok Sabha by poll in Uttar Pradesh's Azamgarh and asked the party workers to maintain the momentum and prevent Muslims from being misled in the 2024 general election, reported news agency PTI. "The determination and courage with which all the BSP workers, office bearers and party candidate Shah Alam alias Guddu Jamali have fought the Azamgarh Lok Sabha bypoll need to be maintained till 2024 Lok Sabha general elections as part of the resolve while maintaining election readiness," Mayawati said in a tweet. 

In another tweet, she said, not only Azamgarh, but BSP's struggle and efforts have to be continued in the entire UP to convert the groundwork into votes.

“In this sequence, it is also important to protect a particular community from being misled in the upcoming elections," she said, in an apparent reference to Muslim voters.

Mayawati had on Sunday said that the outcome of the bypoll has proved that only BSP has the "ground force" to defeat the BJP in the state. 

“The UP bypoll results has once again proved that only BSP has the 'ground force' to defeat BJP here. The party's effort to prove this to the entire community will continue, so that the much awaited political change can take place in the state," the BSP chief said.

“The ruling party wins most of the bypolls, yet the tough fight the BSP has given to the ruling BJP and SP in Azamgarh is commendable. All party workers have to move forward with more strength," she tweeted. 

Her party contested only in Azamgarh bypoll where the party candidate Shah Alam alias Guddu Jamali stood third with 29.27 per cent votes.
