  "account": "Samajwadi Party leader Mayawati criticized the Samajwadi Party (SP) for engaging in dynastic politics and favoring wealthy industrialists, contradicting the party's rhetoric of fighting for the backward, Dalit, and minority communities. She accused the SP of giving tickets to privileged individuals, such as a close relative of the party chief, and a prominent businessman, instead of supporting hardworking Ambedkarite candidates from among the poor, middle class, and weaker sections of society. Mayawati also highlighted the SP's nomination of a losing candidate, indicating that the party prioritizes its own interests over those of the public. She urged the backward classes, Dalits, tribals, and minorities to be cautious of the SP's double standards and emphasized that their interests are safe only with the Ambedkarite BSP.",
  "summary": "The BSP president warned the backward classes, Dalits, tribals, and minorities to be aware of the SP’s double standards.",
