BJP MLA P.N. Pathak Stirs UP Politics with Brahmin Meet & Controversial Tweet

• BJP MLA P.N. Pathak hosted a meeting of 45-50 Brahmin MLAs from Purvanchal and Bundelkhand at his Lucknow residence, sparking political debate.
• Pathak later tweeted, calling Brahmins "guide, thinker, and balancer of society" and stating their gatherings strengthen Hindu identity and unite society.
• The UP BJP state president had previously issued strict orders against such caste-based meetings, deeming them outside party lines.
• This Brahmin MLA gathering follows a similar 'Kutumb Parivar' meeting by Thakur MLAs during the last monsoon session.
• While presented as social unity, political circles view these meetings as attempts to strengthen caste equations in Uttar Pradesh.
