Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati criticized the Samajwadi Party for proposing a “PDA Day,” describing it as political theatrics aimed at creating unnecessary controversy rather than addressing public issues.
In a statement, Mayawati accused the rival party of indulging in symbolic gestures that distract from pressing developmental and governance concerns in Uttar Pradesh. She emphasized that political leadership should focus on tangible measures such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, and welfare programs, instead of orchestrating attention-grabbing events for political gain.
Party sources said the BSP leader’s remarks reflect broader frustration over what she perceives as performative politics in the state, where symbolism is often used to mobilize voters without delivering real results. Mayawati reiterated that the BSP remains committed to issues affecting marginalized communities and will continue to prioritize social justice and equitable development.
The proposed “PDA Day” by the Samajwadi Party had generated significant media coverage, prompting reactions from multiple political leaders. Mayawati’s response positions her party as focused on practical governance and long-term solutions, contrasting with rival political theatrics ahead of upcoming elections.
Observers noted that such exchanges underscore the intensifying political rivalry in Uttar Pradesh, with parties seeking to capture public attention while defining their ideological and administrative priorities.
Mayawati concluded by urging political rivals to channel their energies toward real solutions for citizens, rather than staging symbolic gestures that do little to improve public welfare or governance outcomes in the state.
