The resurgence of the Samajwadi Party

The resurgence of the Samajwadi Party

The Hindu  

The Samajwadi Party, forged on October 4, 1992, by Mulayam Singh Yadav, arose from the shards of a schism within the Janata Dal. This coalition succeeded and Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav became Chief Minister, marking the rise of backward caste politics in U.P. The 2017 Assembly elections were challenging, with the SP winning only 47 seats amid internal strife, most notably the acrimonious spat between Mulayam Singh Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav. In the 2022 Assembly polls, the SP saw a modest recovery, winning 111 seats under Mr. Akhilesh Yadav’s leadership, focusing on alliances, unemployment, and lawlessness. By transcending the traditional Muslim-Yadav vote bank image, the party made significant inroads among non-Yadav Other Backward Classes, a feat that even Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav struggled to achieve without BSP collaboration.
