Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections: Political Parties Vie for Power with Social Engineering Strategies

The assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh are months away, but the political temperature is already at election season. The political parties are already busy aligning Dalits with the backwards. Now they are also looking to get the support of Brahmins to make the path to power easier. Among other equations, the BJP continues to have an electoral edge among the upper castes, especially Brahmins. Two decades ago, in 2007, BSP chief Mayawati also won the state on the basis of Dalit-Brahmin social engineering. In such a situation, the Samajwadi Party also does not want to give up the opportunity of power amid all-round discussions of the Brahmins'resentment with the BJP. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, who is already engaged in the pursuit of Brahmins, has also tried to achieve power in the form of PD in the PDA, short form Pandit with backward-Dalit, like the PDA (PDA), after a decade of social engineering of the Brahmins.
