Exercise right to vote to elect 'pro-Bahujan' govt, says Mayawati

Lucknow: On the eve of polling for the first phase of the Lok Sabha elections, BSP chief Mayawati on Thursday appealed to people to exercise their right to vote and elect a "pro-Bahujan" government.

In a post on X, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said the right to vote is a "democratic power to obtain the master key to power" which will enable the poor, weak and



neglected people to uplift themselves.

"A strong appeal to you to elect a pro-Bahujan government for the poor, the working class and the deprived by fearlessly using your valuable constitutional right to vote in the first round of polling for the seven-phase elections for the 18th Lok Sabha," Mayawati said in a post in Hindi.
