BJP's 'Plan D' for 2027 UP Elections: Countering Akhilesh's PDA with Dalit Outreach

• BJP devises 'Plan D' to counter Akhilesh Yadav's PDA (Pichda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) formula for 2027 UP elections.
• The strategy focuses on engaging the Dalit community through year-round programs honoring 15 Dalit luminaries, from Kanshi Ram to Sant Ravidas.
• This move aims to reclaim Dalit votes lost in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where Akhilesh Yadav's PDA politics attracted a significant portion.
• BJP's new social engineering phase emphasizes Dalit luminaries, their legacy, and continuous dialogue with the community to convey its message and work.
• The Yogi Adityanath government is also focusing on delivering government schemes to all sections of society as part of this broader strategy.
