Political parties across the ideological spectrum in Uttar Pradesh on Friday paid tribute to Dalit leader and founder of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Kanshi Ram on his birth anniversary. U.P. CM Yogi Adityanath described the late leader as a popular politician who fought throughout his life for the welfare of the neglected, deprived, and exploited.
“Humble tribute to Kanshi Ramji, a popular politician who fought throughout his life for the rights and overall development of the Dalits, the deprived and the exploited,” Mr. Adityanath wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
BSP president Mayawati said that the party’s founder engaged in epochal work by strengthening the “Bahujan Samaj” and, in the process, brought the community out of slavery.
