On Thursday, Akhilesh Yadav from the Samajwadi Party cast indirect criticism towards Mayawati and her BSP, suggesting their alliance with their 'oppressors' was based on mutual benefits.
Earlier in the day, during a rally, Mayawati acknowledged the BJP's efforts in maintaining memorials of Dalit figures and accused the Samajwadi Party of duplicity for allegedly leveraging Dalit icons to gain electoral power.
Mayawati diverted from naming individuals but expressed satisfaction with the Yogi Adityanath government for committing to preserve parks and memorials from her tenure. She attributed this cooperation to a letter she wrote to the chief minister, ensuring ticket proceeds are allocated for upkeep rather than diverted elsewhere.
