Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said voters will
'wipe out' the Samajwadi Party permanently in the next state assembly elections. Speaking on Sunday, he accused the party and its chief Akhilesh Yadav of never including the poor in their agenda and of putting the state behind family interests.
The BJP leader did not specify a timeline for the next polls, which are due in 2027. Adityanath has previously made similar claims about the opposition party's electoral prospects in the state.
A decade ago, the Samajwadi Party won 224 seats in the 2012 UP assembly election. Its tally has fallen sharply since, to 47 in 2017 and 111 in 2022, while the BJP's rose from 312 to 255 despite losing ground. Yogi Adityanath's target of 'wiping out' the SP reflects the BJP's push to consolidate its Hindu vote bank, which the SP is trying to crack with its PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) strategy ahead of the next election scheduled for early 2027.
