After the resignation of many ministers and MLAs including Swami Prasad Maurya , Dara Singh Chauhan, Dharam Singh Saini, the BJP is now preparing for a new frontline. Apart from helping the backward, the party’s eyes are now on the Dalit vote bank of the BSP. BJP has now changed its strategy. Earlier the party was focusing more on non-Jatav votes.
BJP state president Swatantradev Singh had recently indicated in the party’s joining program that the campaign to connect booth level people of BSP and SP with the BJP would go on. The party has now taken steps in that direction. In fact, on the basis of Dalit politics, BSP had achieved a different position in the politics of the state. In that too the most role was played by the Jatavs, who have the largest number of Dalits. Be it the 2014 Lok Sabha elections or the last assembly elections, the Jatav community did not leave the BSP. This is the reason why there was not a huge difference in the vote percentage of BSP.
But this time the maximum effort for power is going on between BJP and SP. In order to get ahead in the competition, BJP has now started efforts to break into the strong vote bank of BSP.
BJP’s plan to woo Dalits
The party has made two plans to woo the Dalits. On the one hand, small to big Jatav and other Dalit leaders of the party are being engaged on this front. The migration of these leaders is being done in Dalit settlements. At the same time, how the people of Dalit and backward sections benefited from the schemes of Modi and Yogi government , it will also be told. This includes free ration, bank loans given to street vendors without interest, Ujjwala, housing and other schemes under PM Svanidhi Yojana during the Corona period. On the other hand, the initiative taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to save the places associated with Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar is being publicized.
Special contact with Dalit-Backward beneficiaries
The Bharatiya Janata Party has started a door-to-door contact campaign from January 11. Along with this, the party is going to launch a separate campaign for backwards and Dalits. The party has complete data of beneficiaries of central and state government schemes. Out of this, the data of backwards and dalits has been separated. According to sources, on the basis of this, the party will increase its penetration among the beneficiaries of Dalit and backward castes through a special contact campaign. Efforts will be made to explain that the benefits of these schemes have especially been given to the poor sections of these sections.
