He said that Dalits have played an important role in ensuring better performance of BSP in the elections. He thanked his community for their continued support.

He pledged to continue working to fulfill the mission of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and his ideological goals.

Mayawati further said that due to bad weather and extreme heat the voting percentage has been adversely affected.

"The Election Commission should in future ensure that these aspects are kept in mind while finalizing the election dates," he said.

The BSP president stressed that the election process should not be dragged on for a long time as it adversely affects the voter mentality.
