==Politics==<br />
On 11 March 2014 Maurya in a joint press conference with [[Rashtriya Parivartan Dal]]'s chief DP Yadav said "Our party does not have any ideology... Our main aim is to grab power for the welfare of our society... Every one is doing so but I say it openly.".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/our-main-aim-is-to-grab-power-for-welfare-of-society-mahan-dal-114031201064_1.html |title=Our main aim is to grab power for welfare of society:Mahan Dal |publisher=Business Standard |date=2014-03-12 |access-date=2014-04-25}}</ref> Maurya added that his party did not "have the position to contest in the Lok Sabha polls alone" and its "alliance with RPD will continue in future too".{{citation needed|date=September 2020}}<br />

Mahan Dal claimed that the [[Other Backward Class|OBC]] voters of western [[Uttar Pradesh|UP]] specially Shakyas, Mauryas and Kushwahas would support them in the election<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/noida/Mahan-Dal-enters-fray-with-Congress/articleshow/31911554.cms |title=Mahan Dal enters fray with Congress – The Times of India |publisher=Timesofindia.indiatimes.com |date=2014-03-13 |access-date=2014-04-25}}</ref> but Mahan Dal candidates lost on all three allocated seats<br />
