Dozens of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Brahmin MLAs and MLCs in Uttar Pradesh held an informal dinner meeting in Lucknow. While some attendees and party leaders described the gathering as social and cultural, political observers and opposition parties suggest it reflects growing concerns within the Brahmin community about political marginalization. The meeting, occurring during the state's winter assembly session, follows similar gatherings by other caste groups and precedes potential cabinet reshuffles and the 2027 elections, sparking speculation about caste dynamics within the ruling party.
