Jan 11, 2022 Outlook Web Desk Former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Kumari Mayawati will not contest the upcoming Uttar Pradesh state assembly elections, senior BSP leader Satish Chandra Mishra has informed.
Sep 10, 2021 Outlook Web Desk Bhim Rajbhar, the BSP UP president, has been finalised from the Mau assembly seat in place of Mukhtar Ansari, Mayawati said in a tweet in Hindi. She says, "Alongside ensuring 'a rule of law, by law', the BSP's resolve is to also change Uttar Pradesh’s image now."
