UP Elections: In Akhilesh Yadav-Om Rajbhar Alliance, Asaduddin Owaisi Could be the Loser

News 18  

The alliance between the Samajwadi Party and the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party announced on October 20, following a meeting between SP and SBSP heads Akhilesh Yadav and Om Prakash Rajbhar, signifies the start of a realignment of social dynamics influencing electoral politics in Uttar Pradesh. The Challenge for Akhilesh Yadav The Bhagidari Sankalp Morcha’s slogan, borrowed from the Bahujan Samaj Party of yesteryears, is “Jiski jitni sankhya bhaari, uski utni bhagidari”, encapsulating the reality and spirit of proportional representation in power politics and its structures. Rajbhar alleged that the Yogi Adityanath government was unwilling to carry out the proposals of a panel, set up in 2018 by Akhilesh Yadav, to review the classification of UP’s backward castes. Unofficially, it is learnt that Akhilesh agreed to implement the recommendations of the Raghvendra Kumar panel report which categorised the backward castes into Other Backward Classes, More Backward Classes and Most Backward Classes and suggested the 27 per cent reservation quota be divided “equitably”.
