The politics of Uttar Pradesh has intensified in preparation for 2027. On one hand, Yogi government is opening the way for lakhs of jobs, while on the other hand, Akhilesh Yadav is betting on the new political narrative of women empowerment and PDA. At the same time, the opposition is accusing BJP of recruitment as soon as the elections come.
The vote of youth and women has become the biggest political weapon in the fight for 2027. UP government announced many big recruitments in the last 15 days, from police to PCS and home guards.
The main recruitments that have come out are
Sub-Inspector (SI): 4,543 posts
Home Guard: 41,424 posts
Constable: 22,605 posts
Jail Warden: 3,000 posts
UPPSC PCS: 920 posts
Review Officer (RO): 411 Posts
UPSSSC (VDO, Lekhpal, Forest Inspector etc): 50,000+ posts (coming soon)
‘In UP, recruitment is being done on the basis of merit’
These figures show that around 70 thousand jobs have been announced in the state, and more jobs will be released soon. According to the reports, the results and joining of these examinations can be done by the end of 2026. Politically, this is a big message for the youth. According to BJP leader Rakesh Tripathi, recruitment in Uttar Pradesh is being done on the basis of merit without nepotism. There will be a large number of recruitments in future also. The youth have faith in Yogi, so they are sure.
SP trying to woo women voters
At the same time, Samajwadi Party is in a mood to challenge this political temperature with women’s issues. While posting pictures of women MPs on social media, Akhilesh Yadav said, “A in PDA means half the population, and respect for every woman is our resolution. They have announced ‘Stree Samman-Samriddhi Yojana’. SP’s stance towards women voters seems more aggressive than before.
SP leader Pooja said, “Samajwadi Party has been continuously working for women. In 2012-17, we gave pension, Kanya Vidyadhan, laptop. BJP misleads by giving only ₹ 2000. In 2027, we will again bring big schemes for women.” Whereas SP leader Deepak Ranjan says, it is good for the youth to get work but how many jobs were given in 9 years? Papers were done, results not out. The young man is now demanding an account. The youth will get their rights only when the socialist government comes.
Congress cornered BJP
Congress leader Surendra Rajput says, “BJP makes false promises of creating jobs as soon as elections come. They said 2 crore jobs in 2014, 50 lakh in 2022. Leave aside police recruitment, no recruitment took place. The public will answer in 2027.”
At the same time, political analysts say that in the fight of 2027, the old equation of MY i.e. Muslim-Yadav has changed to “MY i.e. Women and Youth”. And both classes are the key to electoral victory. Senior journalist Gyanendra Shukla said, “In UP, the youth have always decided the elections. The narrative of unemployment was dominant in 2024. Now the BJP is busy sending a positive message among the youth. Also, like Bihar, women voters are also going to be decisive.”
What did the youth say?
When we talked to the youth, we got a mixed response. While welcoming the announcement of jobs, the youth said that the wait for jobs was for a long time. However, apart from this, we were also waiting for many jobs but those jobs did not come. Now we will get the job by giving good work to the one that has come.
