Samajwadi Party inaugrates a new wing for SC's led by ex-BSP as Election approaches.

The BJP began courting OBC and SC with targeted sammelans across the UP. The BSP held meetings of the Brahmin community and appealed to “bhaichara” (brotherhood) with the SCs. In order not to be outdone, a few months before the regional elections, the SP has also joined the queue.

For the primary time since the party was found out in 1992, it's formed a dedicated wing for scheduled Castes (SCs): Samajwadi baba Saheb Ambedkar Vahini.

And in what its own leaders claim could be a masterstroke, the party has appointed a Dalit leader who was with the BSP for twenty nine years to move this new wing. “We have to be compelled to take the ideologies of Bhimrao Ambedkar and Ram Manohar Lohia along. we've got to form underprivileged and burdened sections alert to the ideologies of each leaders and their contribution to society,” says Mithai Lal Bharti, the person at the helm of the wing who switched sides 2 years ago.

In view of the 2022 polls, our workplace bearers can reach intent on Dalits and alternative underprivileged sections, and attractiveness to them to support the Samajwadi Party and take away the BJP from power. The BJP is anti-reservation and anti-Constitution,” he says. Before connexion SP in Sep 2019, Bharti had worked with BSP for twenty nine years and served as its Ballia district president, Purvanchal region arranger and Bihar and Chhattisgarh in-charge.

Bharti, 48, says he's a post-graduate in Hindi from Purvanchal University. however what he very treasures from those days is a chance to serve a meal to Kanshiram once the BSP founder had visited his town Ballia in 1997-1998.

The SP, meanwhile, has excessive expectancies from the brand new wing — till now, the birthday birthday celebration had committed wings for OBCs, Scheduled Tribes (STs), minorities, ladies and different sections. “There turned into no separate wing for Scheduled Castes. There have been needs from inside the birthday birthday celebration and a few pupil leaders to create any such wing to paintings solely amongst Dalits, communicate approximately their issues and lift a voice for his or her rights. Party country wide president Akhilesh Yadav ji had made an declaration approximately it a great deal in advance however a separate Vahini has been shaped now,” stated Juhi Singh, SP stated.
