With the Uttar Pradesh Assembly election 2022 approaching, political parties have started drawing up their battle plans.

Mayawatis Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) is likely to make the oppression of Dalits and Brahmins its main election weapon, sources have said.

The party is working on its social engineering formula of 2007 which helped it win the state election, said a BSP leader.

This agenda will be sharpened after the Prabuddha Sammelans, underway in the state under BSP national general secretary Satish Chandra Mishras leadership, sources said.

As part of the strategy, sources said, local BSP leaders will go to places where cases of oppression of Dalits and Brahmins have been reported and meet the families of victims to protest, show solidarity and seek justice.

In election meetings, the BSP will also talk about Dalits, Brahmins and Muslims being oppressed in the last five years and question the BJP government in the state on core issues.

Mayawati is busy preparing for the UP Assembly election from Lucknow. On her instructions, Satish Chandra Mishra is holding conventions or Prabuddha Sammelans to integrate Brahmins with the party.

As per party sources, Brahmins, Dalits and Muslims have suffered the most under the BJP rule and they are not being heard.

Mayawati will start the assembly election campaign by addressing a Brahmin Sammelan at the party office in Lucknow on September 7.

Satish Chandra Mishras conventions will end on September 4. Preparations are being made to start it from CM Yogi Adityanaths turf Gorakhpur.
