Brahmin security priority
Chief among the promises that Mayawati made to the Brahmin community on Tuesday was that they would be provided security.
“The Brahmins agree that under the BSP rule, the people of the community were in a better position than under the BJP rule,” he said. “I assure the Brahmin community that if we come to power in the next election, we will ensure their safety.”
He said that just like in 2007, if Brahmins supported his party, it would form the government with a majority.
He has also tasked his party leaders to ensure that they include at least 1,000 Brahmin workers in every assembly segment, especially in reserved seats.
Mayawati said, “If the Brahmin community emulates the Dalits and does not fall under any temptation or temptation, then no force can stop us from forming a majority government in UP like in 2007.”
He also said that Dalits have always stood behind the BSP as a “solid rock”, adding that the community is never affected by anything.
“Hopefully other communities affiliated to the BJP will do the same,” he said.

Focus only on development, not parks
In her speech, Mayawati promised to focus on the development of the state and not on parks and monuments, an issue on which she has faced heavy criticism over the years.
“We don’t need to build a new monument or park in the name of the people who were our guides – we’ve already done it.”future of hammer (Wholesale)’ in our last words,” he said. “If I form the government again, I will not focus on statues or monuments or parks, but on ruling the state to the best of my ability. “
Mayawati also took a jibe at RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s remarks that Hindus and Muslims share the same lineage.
“Why are the Sangh and the BJP treating the members of the minority community as adopted?” He said that his party would not discriminate against any section.
“When we form government in 2022 with absolute majority, we will implement our policy” Everyone’s welfare, everyone’s happiness (Benefits for all, peace for all) as we did in 2007,” she said.
“At that time, we not only looked after the interests of the downtrodden and backward but also the interests of the people belonging to the upper castes. Our party is not for any one caste or religion. It is a party for all sections of the society.”
Presence of priests and women workers
Priests from many cities including Sitapur, Barabanki, Lucknow and Hardoi participated in the BSP program.
