Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena

Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena, or UP Navnirman Sena, is a political organization based in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India.[1]

The group was in news for beheading Mayawati's statue located at Ambedkar park, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow.[2] On 26 July 2012 the group gave the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Akhilesh Yadav, an ultimatum to remove similar statues of Miss Mayawati.[3] The group was angry with Mayawati's purported ill-treatment of farmers and Rajputs. Three members of the organization were arrested by the police for the beheading incident.[4]
