Countering SP's PDA narrative, consolidating Dalit and OBC votes high on election plan
WITH the organisational reshuffle in the Uttar Pradesh BJP unit over till district levels, the ruling party is now set to appoint its new state chief who will take the party into state assembly elections in 2027.
While taking a call on the name of the new state unit chief, the ruling party is likely to find itself on the horns of a dilemma as the key challenge for it will be to counter the opposition's caste mobilisation and the SP's PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) narrative.
Caste will play a major role in the appointment of the new UP BJP chief. According to party insiders, it may go with a Dalit face. If it happens, it will be for the first time since 1980 when Madhav Prasad Trivedi, an upper caste Brahmin, was elected the party's (then Jana Sangh) first UP chief.

So You Think You are an Empath?
In this epoch of information overload, we watch a thousand crises unfold every day, where the sacred mixes with the profane at top speed, where the latest war updates are followed in quick succession by clips on how to wear a mekhela chador the proper way, how to make naan on an overturned tawa, what Ji Chang Wook said at the Gucci launch. This is popcorn for the brain, a topic I have addressed in an earlier column; we ingest everything, gulp it down, then move quickly on to the next snippet. Who really has the time to linger?
