UP Politics: The continuous important meetings of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Delhi have stepped up the stir in the politics of Uttar Pradesh. Recently, Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, after which the round of speculation has started.
According to sources, Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya, the head of the Jansatta Dal democratic and MLA from Kunda, has been called to Delhi suddenly. The development is pointing to possible changes in political circles. There is silence in Delhi after a long consultation between the top leadership of the party – Prime Minister Modi, Home Minister Shah and BJP President JP Nadda – in the past. Experts believe that this may be peace before a big political reshuffle.
Speculation of change in Uttar Pradesh leadership
Sources claim that preparations are underway to change the top level of the party in Uttar Pradesh. It is also believed that senior state leader can be given a big role in the center. However, so far no official comment has been received from the BJP or any big leader.
Raja Bhaiya’s visit to Delhi is being seen in this context. There is speculation on social media too that the Center can give them important responsibility. This can not only give BJP support for Jansatta Dal, but can also give an opportunity to reduce the displeasure of the Kshatriya community in the Lok Sabha elections.
Raja Bhaiya’s political journey
Raja Bhaiya’s political career has been more than three decades long. In 1993 and 1996, he reached the assembly as a BJP -backed candidate, while in later years he contested independent with the support of Samajwadi Party.
In 1997, he took over as ministers in Kalyan Singh and Mulayam Singh Yadav’s governments. In 1999 and 2000, he was the Minister of Youth Welfare in Ram Prakash Gupta and Rajnath Singh government. In 2004, he was the Minister of Food and Logistics Department in Mulayam Sarkar. In the year 2018, he founded his own party, Jansatta Dal democratic. Currently, this party has two MLAs and one MLC.
