LJP Plans to Expand Dalit Support Ahead of 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections
The Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), led by Union Minister Chirag Paswan, is preparing to contest the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections with a focus on non-Jatav Dalit communities, especially Pasis and Paswans. The party has been strengthening its organizational presence in Purvanchal and central UP, setting up booth committees and organizing Dalit outreach programs like Chaupals and Navsankalp Mahasabhas. This strategy aims to capitalize on the weakened Bahujan Samaj Party and the Dalit votes that supported the Samajwadi Party in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
