UP BJP has changed old faces and relied on new ones: The Rajya Sabha elections involved a gamble on Brahmins, backward classes, and Dalits, setting the stage for 2027.

The BJP has laid the groundwork for its Mission-2027 through the Rajya Sabha elections. The party has relied on traditional vote banks among Brahmins, Kshatriyas, backward classes, and Dalits. However, instead of betting on old faces, it has given opportunities to new ones. The BJP had taken the risk of fielding capitalist Sanjay Seth as its 9th candidate for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. But, with the assembly elections approaching, it has given preference to a capitalist and a big face this time.
