Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Keshav Prasad Maurya has recently given a statement on the meeting held of Brahmin MLAs of BJP in UP. The Deputy CM completely rejected the allegations of casteism and internal strife in BJP and said, ‘There is neither Thakurism nor Brahminism in our party, only BJPism prevails here. BJP’s principle is – everyone’s support, everyone’s development, everyone’s respect and everyone’s place.

Talking to ABP, Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya said that Akhilesh Yadav has no issues left, that is why he is raising such unnecessary questions. He said that if an MLA goes to someone’s birthday, anniversary or to eat Litti-Chokha, then it should not be seen as a caste meeting.

Only BJP issue will run in Uttar Pradesh – Keshav Prasad Maurya

When he was further questioned, allegations were being made that Brahmin MLAs were not happy and the politics of Thakur versus Brahmin was going on under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. On this, Keshav Maurya bluntly said that neither Thakurism nor Brahminism will work in Uttar Pradesh, only BJPism will work. Whoever follows a different path, his future will be in darkness. All the party members know this.

When the Deputy CM was asked whether Brahmin MLAs were not able to express their views openly and whether they were holding separate meetings. Where even name and mobile number are being written. In response to this, Keshav Prasad Maurya said that it is natural for MLAs to meet each other during the House. Just because some people are sitting and their photo is published, it does not prove that there is any dispute or casteism in the party.

He made it clear that Kuldeep Singh Sengar has already been dismissed from the party and the government had stood with the aggrieved party earlier, is there today and will do so in future too.

After the recent meeting of Brahmin MLAs after ‘Thakur Kutumb’ in Uttar Pradesh, the stir regarding caste equations has intensified. Many political experts are seeing this as politics of Thakur versus Brahmin. In which everything from participation in power to the strategy of creating pressure for the participation of one’s caste in the organization is also being seen.

The meeting of Brahmin MLAs cannot be taken lightly for the Bharatiya Janata Party. According to sources, in this meeting the role of Brahmin community, their representation and power within the party was discussed. This seems to emphasize that their voice is being suppressed in the party, due to which insecurity and dissatisfaction is increasing among them.

Stirring intensified after the meeting of Brahmin MLAs

Thakur and Brahmin class in UP has been the core vote bank of BJP since the beginning. It was discussed in the meeting that the voice of Brahmins was becoming weak. However, this issue has not arisen just like that. Yogi government has been accused many times of ignoring Brahmins. Samajwadi Party can also be seen fanning this issue from time to time and has been accusing the government of protecting and saving people of the Chief Minister’s caste (Thakur).

Brahmin vs Thakur’s share in power in UP

According to media reports, the population of Brahmins in UP is about 10-11% while the population of Thakurs is about 6-7%. BJP has a total of 258 MLAs in the UP Assembly. Of these, 42 are Brahmins, 45 are Thakurs, 84 are OBC, 59 are Scheduled Caste, 0 are Muslim and 28 are MLAs from other upper castes. Which includes other castes including Vaishya, Kayastha, Punjabi and Khatri.

Whereas in the Legislative Council, BJP has a total of 79 MLCs, of which 14 are Brahmins, 23 Thakurs, 26 OBCs, 2 Scheduled Castes, 2 Muslims and 12 are from other upper castes. If we look at these figures, according to the caste equation, the number of Brahmins is more than that of Thakurs, but their representation in the Assembly and Legislative Council is less than that of Rajputs.

While BJP has 42 Brahmin MLAs in the Assembly and 45 Thakur MLAs, the number of members in the Legislative Council is 14 and 23 respectively. This year, when the meeting of Thakur MLAs was held during the monsoon session, it was seen as a show of solidarity towards the Chief Minister, but this time on the meeting of Brahmin MLAs, the party has given them advice.

Looking at all these things, it is being speculated that dissatisfaction is emerging regarding caste balance within BJP. It has now become necessary for the party to balance its two biggest core vote banks, otherwise it may have to suffer the consequences in the upcoming elections.
