BJP to leverage historical figures to counter opposition narrative
Imagine the BJP is trying to win votes by talking about important historical figures from certain communities.
They're focusing on figures like Maharaja Suheldev, who is remembered by a specific community, and other leaders like Ahilyabai Holkar and Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh.
The goal is to change the conversation and reach out to different groups of people, especially those who might not usually support them.
By doing this, they hope to gain more support in upcoming elections and shift the focus away from what the opposition is talking about.
CM Yogi Adityanath plans a visit to Bahraich for an event backed by SBSP.
The event commemorates Maharaja Suheldev's victory and may counter the opposition's PDA narrative.
SBSP chief OP Rajbhar seeks PM Modi's participation in the event.
BJP is strategically highlighting historical figures from the OBC community.
The party has been invoking Dalit icons as part of a broader political strategy.
