In the
coming Parliamentary election, in Uttar Pradesh, the Other Backward Cast (OBC)
politics, which represents 60% of the population, in U.P. is likely to
dominate, in the state. Though the BJP and other parties are talking in length
on the subject of the development, in the state, but secretly, the parties are on the
run for the Cast equation, which cannot be denied by them. The issues of
Electricity, Roads and Water are no more relevant or serious issue, in the
coming election.
It is the
cast Mathematics, which have inspired the BJP to project Mr. Narendra Modi, as
Backward cast, in their Rally, held in Lucknow, in the recent past, Mr Modi,
without hesitation have mentioned himself, as a Backward Cast to woo the OBC
voters of U.P., in his favor.
While
addressing, the recent Press briefing, the BSP Supreme, Ms. Mayawati have
questioned Modi’s actual cast, as per the list of OBC of UP. In fact, any
political party, irrespective of affiliation, does not want to compromise an
inch ground, in connection with the OBC factors.
And for this
reason, after the Assembly election, in 2012, the parties like SP and BSP did some
home work, by holding different Cast Conferences (Sammelan), which was, later on,
being banned by the Allahabad High Court, though they are managing the show in
other way.
OBC factor,
in U.P., came in to existence, when in Nineties, the former Prime Minister;
Late V.P.Singh came out with implementing ‘Mandal Commission’ for the OBC,
which have rocked the entire U.P. .
But,
unfortunately, the BJP is far lagging behind from the SP and BSP due to BJP’s
inclination towards the Upper Cast, which could be a factor to lose many seats,
in U.P.
