UP 2027 Elections: SP Expands Coalition Amid NDA Ally Tensions Over Bihar Parties
As Uttar Pradesh prepares for the 2027 assembly elections, the Samajwadi Party (SP) is focusing on broadening its social coalition, including backward classes, Dalits, minorities, and Brahmins, aiming to replicate its 2012 success. Meanwhile, tensions are rising within the BJP-led NDA as Bihar-based allies Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) and Janata Dal (United) explore contesting in UP, prompting opposition from existing ally Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP). LJP chief Chirag Paswan has indicated the possibility of contesting all seats if no alliance is reached with BJP.
