Will Bharatiya Janata Party continue to dominate reserved seat matrix in Uttar Pradesh?

Hindustan Times  

With the Lok Sabha poll process having been set in motion, the BJP is out to retain 15 of the 17 reserved seats it had won in the 2019 parliamentary election to continue to dominate the caste matrix in Uttar Pradesh in 2024 by once again denting the Dalit votebank of its poll rivals. This time, the ruling party is out to hold on to its winning caste matrix – broadly non-Jatav Dalits, non-Yadav OBCs and upper castes -- that worked wonders for it in the last four polls in Uttar Pradesh. In fact, in these four successive poll victories in Uttar Pradesh—2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha and 2017, 2022 assembly polls- the BJP managed the most diverse representation minus Muslims. Its vote share in Uttar Pradesh came down to 12.88% in the 2022 assembly polls from 19.3% in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
