SaralnamaBSP revives its Muslim outreach in Uttar Pradesh, three years after suspending it. The party sets up a 'Muslim Samaj Bhaichara Sangathan' to bring together Muslim and Dalit voters before the 2027 UP Assembly polls. BSP chief Mayawati will meet 'Mandal Sanyojaks' from 18 state divisions in Lucknow. This move comes after BSP's poor performance in 2022 Assembly and 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where it blamed Muslims for not supporting the party. BSP plans to have SC leaders as convenors in mandal-level Muslim committees to unite both groups. Party leaders believe Muslims now see BSP as a viable option against BJP.
