Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh: BSP Supremo Mayawati says, "As is well known, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar is the messiah of millions of Dalits and other marginalized communities in the country. He was the principal architect of the Constitution of India. During his lifetime, through his capability, intellect, wisdom, and foresight, and while keeping in mind the tactics of caste-based discrimination and oppression, he secured numerous constitutional and fundamental legal rights for these communities. To ensure that these rights could be effectively exercised, he emphasized the importance of political power. Acting on this vision, Kanshi Ram founded the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), considering political power to be the master key for the empowerment of these communities..."
Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh: BSP Supremo Mayawati says, "Various political parties and organizations bring people onto the streets by provoking and misleading those who are distressed and suffering. They first create unrest through violence, protests, road blockades, and other disturbances. Then, their leaders arrive at the scene, shedding crocodile tears and using the incident for political gain. This does not help the victims receive justice...In such a situation, the solution to these problems lies in following the peaceful and lawful path shown by Babasaheb Dr. B. R. Ambedkar-through unity and the strength of the vote to attain political power, which is regarded as the master key to resolving countless hardships. The BSP remains committed to this path and continues to work towards this goal, without deviating from it..."

Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh: On the Ram Mandir donation row, Minister Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary says, "The government has constituted an SIT to ensure a fair investigation. But as I said, they have a negative agenda. They always make such remarks about our religion, saints, and Hindus that they create distrust towards this system in society. That has been their agenda. If you look at the history of the Samajwadi Party and the Congress Party, they have always worked to insult Sanatan Dharma, saints, and our monasteries and temples."
Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh: Cabinet Minister Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary says, "The Samajwadi Party and the Congress Party have always had the agenda of insulting Hinduism, defaming it, and creating as much distrust towards the Hindu religion as possible. That has been their agenda. They have always worked to insult the Sanatan tradition and Hindu faith. If you look at the character of the Samajwadi Party, they continuously tried in the courts to prevent the construction of the Ram Temple. They also had kar sevaks fired upon. The Congress Party refused to acknowledge the existence of Lord Shri Ram. They even filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court stating that Lord Ram is imaginary..."

There is rampant looting in Uttar Pradesh, and the state government is looting the public from every direction and also looting the temples."
Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh: SP spokesperson Fakhrul Chand Hasan says, "Look, ever since the Bharatiya Janata Party government came to power in Uttar Pradesh and their ally Rajbhar has joined them, he has been giving nothing but absurd statements. The Samajwadi Party does not take those statements seriously. And as far as the Bharatiya Janata Party is concerned, their allies keep talking about a call from Tinni Yadav, so if they have any evidence, they should present it. What did they say? They must have said that the donations being stolen, the donations being looted—that's what they must have talked about. They must have said that the members of the committee for the Lord Shri Ram temple, and the other people involved, are looting donations, stealing donations..."
Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh: SP spokesperson Fakhrul Chand Hasan says, "There were objections regarding the Waqf. The minority community's only concern was that the non-Muslim members in the Waqf boards should not be there. As far as Danish Azad is concerned, regarding his statement, he is an MLA at the mercy of the BJP, because the BJP does not give tickets to any Muslim, they do not get elected. Muslims did not elect him, Muslims did not vote for him. So, people who are at the mercy of the BJP will speak the BJP's language. The Samajwadi Party understands that all these statements are coming because they want to divert the public's attention from the loot that happened in the offerings and donations at the Prabhuji Shri Ram temple. That's why they're talking about Waqf now..."

Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh: BJP spokesperson Dinesh Pratap Singh says, "Their job is to prattle on senselessly like this. I said that when Akhilesh Yadav ji wakes up at 11 in the morning, he comes to X, and when it's time to go to bed at 4, he comes to the press. And he comes to such a press that has no connection whatsoever to the people of Uttar Pradesh.
