SP Plans To Increase Dalit Numbers In 2027 Polls
The Sunday Guardian
|May 25, 2025
Samajwadi Party begins early groundwork for 2027 UP polls with renewed focus on Dalit outreach.
The Samajwadi Party, under the leadership of former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, has begun preparations for the 2027 UP Assembly elections. As part of these early efforts, Yadav has initiated a series of internal meetings within the party and held multiple discussions with various district units.
According to a party source who spoke to The Sunday Guardian, the SP intends to continue with its PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, and Alpsankhyak—Backward Classes, Dalits, and Minorities) formula, which yielded positive results in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. In line with this strategy, the party plans to field more Dalit candidates than the number of reserved seats in the state.
