BJP's Internal Strife: Balyan-Som Feud Threatens 2027 UP Elections
•The conflict between BJP leaders Sanjeev Balyan (Jat) and Sangeet Som (Rajput) in Western UP is escalating, raising concerns for the 2027 assembly elections.
•The feud intensified after Balyan's 2024 Lok Sabha defeat, which he attributed to Som's alleged internal sabotage and division of Hindu votes.
•Som retaliated with corruption allegations against Balyan, leading to a defamation notice and a demand for a CBI inquiry by Balyan to Amit Shah.
•The dispute highlights growing resentment between Jat and Rajput communities, impacting BJP's unity despite attempts at mediation by CM Yogi Adityanath.
•Both leaders continue to publicly express their grievances, with Balyan vowing not to forget his 'insult' and Som attributing Balyan's loss to his own shortcomings.
