Eye on U.P. polls, BSP to stitch up Dalit-OBC 'bhaichara' alliance

The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) will work on the Dalit-OBC 'bhaichara' (brotherhood) alliance to gear up for the 2027 assembly elections.
LUCKNOW: The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) will work on the Dalit-OBC 'bhaichara' (brotherhood) alliance to gear up for the 2027 assembly elections. The party has also started reviving its 'bhaichara' committees at the district level to rebuild its voter base. These committees are old units of the BSP, which became prominent after 2007, when the party formed a majority government in UP.
"Like Dalits, OBCs have been deprived of their Constitutional reservation benefits due to new policies that have rendered quota ineffective. Winning political power is the only way to bring 'achche din' for Dalits and Bahujans," said BSP chief Mayawati at a special meeting of OBC leaders at the party's state unit office on Tuesday.
