We hope that the Election Commission will take strict and effective steps to ensure that the voting system is truly free, fair, and free from the scourge of money and muscle power, as per the wishes of the people, and clean from the misuse of police and government machinery, in the larger public and national interest, and for the strengthening of democracy in the country.”

Mayawati further wrote, “The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) will contest this Bihar Assembly election on its own in almost all seats. People at all levels of the party have been actively preparing for this election, and under the leadership of the party’s national convener, Akash Anand, the “Sarvajan Hitaya Jagran Yatra” and other such events have been successfully organized. The party hopes that the people of Bihar will ensure the success of the BSP candidates by voting on the “elephant” symbol in favor of “Sarvajan Hitaya and Sarvajan Sukhaya” for the ideal system of “rule of law by law” in their state. Thank you.”
