Have been demanding caste census
Akhilesh Yadav has been demanding a caste census many times. He has been repeating – as much as his share, so much his participation. The way non-Yadav OBC candidates have been given preference in this list, it is being linked to this. An attempt has been made to distribute tickets to castes in proportion to the population.
Non-Yadav OBCs were included in large numbers
After the notification was issued, all the leaders who were ministers and MLAs in the state government resigned and joined the SP. Most of those who resigned were non-Yadav OBCs. Not only this, last year Lalji Verma and RS Kushwaha left the BSP and joined the SP. Apart from this, Ram Achal Rajbhar had ridden a cycle earlier this year itself. This is a clear indication that Akhilesh has been working on this formula for a long time, the effect of which can be clearly seen on this list.
Big bet on Vaishyas
Generally, the Vaishya caste is considered to be inclined towards the BJP, but Akhilesh has tried to bring the people of this society also in his side. It has been said many times that due to GST and other reasons, the business class, especially small and medium businessmen, are angry. In view of this, Akhilesh has made a big bet by giving tickets to Vaishyas with an open heart. Tickets have been given to 9 Vaishyas. Now only the results will tell how much this bet of Akhilesh fits.
