Nishad Party Seeks Greater Role, Warns BJP Ahead of 2027 Uttar Pradesh Elections
Ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, Nishad Party leader and fisheries minister Sanjay Nishad has indicated that his party may reconsider its alliance with the BJP if its demands for more seats and community concerns are not addressed. Nishad criticized the BJP for overlooking the Nishad community's issues in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, which he linked to electoral setbacks. He also met with Samajwadi Party leader Mata Prasad Pandey, fueling speculation about shifting political ties. The Nishad Party seeks a larger role, especially in constituencies lost by the BJP in 2022.
