On the occasion of the 77th Republic Day, BSP national president Mayawati extended her heartfelt greetings to the citizens of India and those residing abroad. From Lucknow, she conveyed her prayers for a life filled with dignity and self-respect for all countrymen and their families across the globe.
Mayawati Raises Critical Questions on Governance
The Bahujan Samaj Party leader, however, did not limit her message to mere wishes. She emphasized the special significance of Republic Day as a time for honest reflection on governance and development. Mayawati pointed out that beyond the grand promises and claims made by authorities, it was crucial to evaluate whether central and state governments have moved beyond deceptive rhetoric.
Constitutional Intentions Versus Ground Reality
She stressed the need to assess if these governments have genuinely worked in accordance with the true, all-inclusive intentions of the Constitution. The BSP president questioned whether the country has achieved the expected development in key spheres of democracy, including political, social, and economic domains.
Mayawati highlighted that such development should result in much-needed improvements in people's lives, which she implied requires scrutiny on this important national day.
India's Moral Standing in the World
Reflecting on India's global position, Mayawati noted that due to its constitutional values, the nation has historically been a moral force in the world. She reminded citizens that India did not imitate others; instead, the world looked up to India and learned from its example.
"We need to assess if that situation is still maintained," she stated, raising concerns about whether India continues to uphold its esteemed position today. This question forms a central part of her Republic Day message, urging a collective evaluation of the nation's current standing.
Call for Genuine Assessment
Mayawati's remarks serve as a call to action for both the government and the public. She advocates for a sincere assessment of whether the promises of the Constitution are being fulfilled in practice. Her message underscores the importance of Republic Day not just as a celebration, but as an opportunity to reflect on democratic progress and accountability.
By linking constitutional values with tangible improvements in citizens' lives, the BSP leader has framed her Republic Day wishes within a broader context of governance and national integrity.
