The BSP supremo turned 70 today i.e. on January 15, 2026. He took over as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh at the age of 40. Mayawati was born in an ordinary family in Delhi and worked as a teacher before entering politics. Influenced by Bahujan Samaj Party founder Kanshi Ram, she joined politics and soon emerged as his main successor.
Was the Chief Minister of UP four times
Mayawati took oath as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh four times and became the first Dalit woman Chief Minister of India. His tenure from 2007 to 2012 is especially remembered because during that time he formed a government with absolute majority and succeeded in a new political experiment through social engineering (alliance of Dalits and Brahmins).
Administratively, Mayawati is seen as an Iron Lady, who was known for her strict working style and excellent law and order. Many expressways, parks and monuments were built in Uttar Pradesh during his reign. Which includes huge sites built in honor of Dr. BR Ambedkar and Kanshi Ram. Even today, Mayawati is considered a symbol of self-respect for crores of deprived and Dalits in Indian politics and her role as the supreme leader of BSP is very important.
