Mayawati welcomes U.P. govt. decision to restore Sant Ravidas Nagar district name, hits out at Samajwadi Party

Mayawati, leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), praised the Uttar Pradesh government for restoring the name of the Bhadohi district to Sant Ravidas Nagar, a name originally established under BSP governance. She urged the current BJP government to similarly reinstate the original names of other districts created during her tenure. According to Mayawati, the previous Samajwadi Party (SP) government had altered these names due to 'narrow casteist mindset' and 'casteist thinking.' These changes, she claims, were made out of political bias against Dalits and Other Backward Classes (OBCs), and she expressed gratitude to the current government for reversing them. The restoration of the district name reflects ongoing political tensions between different parties in Uttar Pradesh over administrative decisions and their symbolic significance.
