Taking a jibe at the ruling BJP and other parties in Uttar Pradesh for their efforts to woo Brahmins ahead of the assembly polls, the Congress on Saturday asked why they don’t project Brahmins as their chief ministerial faces if they have so much love. ? for the community. State Congress media convener Lalan Kumar said in a statement that these parties are playing all kinds of dramas to woo Brahmins. Congress has given maximum number of Brahmin chief ministers to Uttar Pradesh.
The BJP had announced on Thursday that it would hold a series of conferences for the “enlightened class” in all 403 assembly constituencies of Uttar Pradesh from September 5. Earlier, Bahujan Samaj Party and Samajwadi Party had also announced similar conventions.
“If BJP, BSP and SP have so much love for Brahmins, why don’t they project a Brahmin face as their chief ministerial candidate in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly elections?” Kumar asked. The reality is that the Congress has given Uttar Pradesh six Brahmin chief ministers, more than any other political party.
“The parties which are doing all kinds of drama to woo Brahmins, they should tell how many Brahmin chief ministers they have given (to the state),” he said. Alleging that Brahmins faced the most persecution under the present BJP government, Kumar said that now with elections approaching, the saffron party has remembered the community.
On the other hand, he said, Congress is trying to take everyone along. He said the Congress would return to power in Uttar Pradesh after the next year’s elections and only then the Brahmins would get justice.
The BSP began its series of conferences on 23 July to win over the Brahmins from Ayodhya. Its campaign is led by its Brahmin face and party general secretary Satish Chandra Mishra. BJP’s outreach campaign will end on September 20.
