The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), led by Mayawati, signaled its readiness to join the I.N.D.I.A bloc for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, stipulating the declaration of Mayawati as the Prime Ministerial candidate as a condition. This move comes as the BSP aims to secure a significant position in the alliance, aligning with the party's vision against casteism and pro-poor policies. Additionally, Mayawati expressed a willingness to collaborate with regional parties in specific states, emphasizing the BSP's independent approach in various political arenas.

Amidst the political landscape gearing up for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), under the leadership of Mayawati, has signaled its intention to join the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A) bloc. This decision arrives with a set of conditions from the BSP, indicating a strategic move in the political sphere.

Expressing a firm stance, BSP MP Malook Nagar emphasized the necessity for Mayawati to be declared the Prime Ministerial candidate to solidify the party's commitment to the alliance. Notably, the BSP had earlier contested the 2019 Lok Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh in conjunction with the Samajwadi Party, securing 10 seats.

In contrast, Mayawati had previously criticized both the NDA and the I.N.D.I.A blocs, labeling their policies as "anti-poor, casteist, communal, pro-rich, and capitalist." This stands as a clear indication of the BSP's unwavering commitment to advocating for the marginalized sections of society.

Simultaneously, within other political factions, workers from the Janata Dal-United (JDU) and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) have advocated for Nitish Kumar and Mamata Banerjee as potential Prime Ministerial candidates, showcasing the varied dynamics and aspirations within different parties.

Earlier declarations by Mayawati had outlined the BSP's independent approach, stating plans to contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and several Assembly polls without alliance, except in Punjab and Haryana with non-NDA, non-I.N.D.I.A affiliated parties. This emphasizes the BSP's strategic considerations while maintaining its core ideology amidst the evolving political scenario.
