SP chief continues outreach to OBC, Dalit voters as senior BSP leaders join his party
Exuding confidence about “revolution of the Backwards” in the 2022 Assembly election, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday called for a change in power in Uttar Pradesh.
“This time there will be an inquilab (revolt) of the backward [classes] during election. And there will be change in 2022,” Mr. Yadav said at a public meeting in Amebdkar Nagar in East U.P.
The rally, organised by two former senior BSP leaders, both OBC — Lalji Verma and Ram Achal Rajbhar — was part of the SP chief’s outreach among the non-Yadav OBCs whom the BJP successfully managed to pit against the Yadavs in the past few elections. OBCs are estimated to be comprise 40-45% of the State’s population, of which Yadavs, the core support base of the SP, make up a fifth.
