UP Politics: Not even 2 years are left for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. But even before this the politics of UP has gained momentum. Recently, when all the Brahmin MLAs of UP united, the political temperature became high. In response to this, Samajwadi Party has also made a new move. Political experts believe that after the meeting of Brahmin MLA, BJP has talked about taking action. SP believes that this is the right time to convince the Brahmins, hence it also organized a Chokha-Baati party and praised the Brahmins a lot. However, only Samajwadi Party leaders and workers joined this party. At present, who will be the head of the state of UP? There are still a lot of days left to decide this but the continuous parties have definitely created a stir.
Akhilesh Yadav’s Chokha-Bati party was kept in the SP office in Lucknow. During this time, his uncle Shivpal Yadav was also present along with Akhilesh Yadav. Shivpal Yadav clearly said that if people from Brahmin community come to our party then we will respect them. That is, SP’s move is clearly visible here that the party may have been of Chokha-Wati but its target was only on Brahmins and BJP. SP believes that Brahmin leaders are angry with Yogi, in such a situation they may be inclined towards SP, hence they are busy in wooing Brahmin voters with full force. However, how much impact it will have will be decided only by the election results.
