Keeping up with UP | After Ram temple, BJP gets down to correcting its caste calculus

Despite Modi’s guarantee and the Ram temple hype, the Bharatiya Janata Party is busy setting its caste calculus right in Uttar Pradesh where it is aiming for a 100% result for the National Democratic Alliance in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections. The BJP and its ally had won 64 seats in Uttar Pradesh in the 2019 Lok Sabha election despite a challenge thrown by the formidable Samajwadi Party-Bahujan Samaj Party alliance. And while the BJP can bask in the glory of Ram temple and Modi’s popularity, they are engaged in stitching caste alliances to achieve the party’s target of 80/80. This is how BJP is trying to woo the castes: On Sunday, Madhya Pradesh chief minister Mohan Yadav, who has been mandated to penetrate the Yadav vote bank of the Samajwadi Party, was addressing a Yadav Mahasabha in UP Flaunting his Yadav caste, he tried to woo the Yadavs telling them how the BJP was committed to giving representation to every section of the society and he was an example.
