News 18  

Months before the state assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh in 2022, Mayawati’s Bahujan Samaj Party appears to be moving towards soft Hindutva. The BSP, which recently launched its ‘seminar for enlightened classes,’ formerly known as Brahmin Sammelan, from Ayodhya, Lord Ram’s birthplace, will now hold the second round of seminar from Mathura, Lord Krishna’s birthplace. Satish Chandra Mishra, the BSP national general secretary, who came at Saidabad of the Handia assembly constituency in Prayagraj’s Gangapar district, said his campaign to unite Brahmins will continue. The Samajwadi Party has also declared that a statue of Lord Parshuram, who is revered by the Brahmin community, will be installed inside the Samajwadi Party’s Lucknow headquarters.
