Mayawati Marks Ambedkar Jayanti, Says Constitutional Ideals Yet to Be Fully Realised
(Pooja Srivastava, Anytime News Network)
: Mayawati, national president of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), paid rich tributes to B. R. Ambedkar on his birth anniversary, while raising serious concerns about the current socio-economic and political realities in India.
In her message, Mayawati emphasized that although India possesses one of the most progressive constitutions in the world, its core objectives—social justice, equality, and fraternity—are yet to be fully achieved. She stated that Dr. Ambedkar envisioned a society where every individual would have equal rights and dignity, but the ground reality still reflects deep-rooted inequalities.
She pointed out that caste discrimination, economic disparity, and social injustice continue to persist across various sections of society, particularly affecting marginalized and underprivileged communities. According to her, these challenges indicate gaps in governance and policy implementation.
Mayawati alleged that the priorities of those in power are not fully aligned with the needs of the common people, especially the Bahujan community. As a result, the constitutional vision of inclusive development and welfare has not been implemented in its true spirit. She stressed that democracy can only be strengthened when justice and opportunities reach the last person in society.
On the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti, Mayawati, along with senior party leaders and workers, offered floral tributes at the Ambedkar Memorial in Lucknow. She reiterated BSP’s commitment to protecting the rights, dignity, and welfare of marginalized communities.
She further said that Ambedkar Jayanti should not be limited to symbolic celebrations but should serve as a moment of introspection to assess how far the nation has progressed in implementing constitutional ideals. Governments, she added, must use this occasion to evaluate policies related to the safety, dignity, and development of the Bahujan community.
Highlighting key socio-economic issues, Mayawati noted that poverty, unemployment, and inequality continue to affect millions, with the marginalized bearing the brunt. She called for concrete policy measures and effective governance to address these challenges rather than mere announcements.
Urging unity among people, she appealed to the Bahujan community to remain aware of their rights and to work collectively towards social transformation and economic empowerment. She concluded by expressing hope that a more just, inclusive, and equitable society can be built through collective efforts inspired by Dr. Ambedkar’s vision.
