The BJP leaders, however, admit that despite propping up cabinet minister Anil Rajbhar as an alternative to Om Prakash Rajbhar, the party still lacked a leader of the Rajbhar community who had as much appeal among his caste group as the SBSP chief with whom the then BJP chief Amit Shah had inked a pre-poll pact ahead of the 2017 UP polls. The BJP also named Arvind Jaiswal from Mubarakpur assembly segment of Azamgarh, the Lok Sabha constituency of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav who is contesting his first assembly election from Karhal seat of Mainpuri.
