# BJP announces SC Morcha district presidents in UP 2026-10-11T21:26:20+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday, 11 October 2026, announced the district presidents of its Scheduled Caste Morcha across Uttar Pradesh. In Lucknow metropolitan area, Kundan Singh Gautam was given charge, while Abhishek Rawat was appointed for Lucknow district. The announcements were made with the permission of state president Pankaj Chaudhary. In Gorakhpur, Sanjeev Paswan was made district president and Rajesh Kumar got the metropolitan charge. Other appointments include Siyaram Rawat in Ayodhya, Abhishek Sagar in Ayodhya metropolitan, Ram Barn Rawat in Rae Bareli, and Pradeep Kumar Rajput in Unnao. The party has focused on younger and active faces, with several appointees having prior organisational experience. District working committees are expected to be announced soon. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both sources report the same event with a neutral factual listing of names. Bhaskar adds a political context noting that the appointments come after SP chief Akhilesh Yadav's PDA card, and frames the party's move as an effort to win back dalit voters ahead of assembly elections. Amar Ujala omits this political angle entirely and sticks to a wire-style announcement. The difference shows Bhaskar providing an electoral backdrop while Amar Ujala restricts itself to the organisational change. Both sources agree on the key names and that district working committees will follow. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - amarujala.com (neutral report) Straight listing of appointments without political commentary - bhaskar.com (neutral report) Reports appointments with mention of SP's PDA and dalit outreach This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
