The Story in Brief
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav is reaching out to Brahmins ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, saying the 'P' in his party's PDA formula stands for 'Pandits'. The remark is part of a bid to expand the SP's social base.
The BJP and BSP have hit back. The BJP accused Akhilesh of 'changing colours like a chameleon.' The BSP also criticised the former chief minister, questioning his sudden shift towards a community his party once opposed.
The Indian Opinion
Akhilesh's Brahmin pitch is pure realpolitik, but calling it chameleon-like misses the point: every party in UP recasts its caste arithmetic before elections. The real test is not the rhetoric but whether the SP can actually peel away Brahmin votes from the BJP without alienating the OBC and Dalit blocs that PDA was meant to consolidate. Will the Brahmin voter trust Akhilesh more than Modi?
