Mayawati (president of the Bahujan Samaj Party) expressed her disapproval of the recent expansion of the Uttar Pradesh Cabinet by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), suggesting that such political actions should transcend caste considerations and foster better governance. In a statement on social media, she noted that the impacts of these expansions must be evident to the public, particularly to farmers, youth, laborers, and the economically disadvantaged. Mayawati described the Cabinet changes as 'rajnaitik jugad' (political maneuvering) and emphasized that they should not become an additional burden on government resources. She underlined the importance of ensuring security and justice for all societal segments, especially marginalized groups, stating that the government must guarantee their safety and dignity. Mayawati's comments were prompted by recent violence against a BJP Yuva Morcha leader from the Brahmin community in Lucknow, which she claimed raised serious concerns about law and order in Uttar Pradesh. She argued that Brahmins feel neglected and insecure under the current administration. In contrast, she highlighted her party's previous governance, which aimed for the welfare of all communities, including Brahmins, under the principle of 'Sarvajan Hitay, Sarvajan Sukhay' (for the welfare and happiness of all). The recent Cabinet expansion notably included a focus on Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and Dalits, along with the inclusion of a Brahmin MLA.
