BJP's Brahmin MLAs raise concerns over representation in UP

BJP's Brahmin MLAs raise concerns over representation in UP

In Uttar Pradesh, some Brahmin leaders in the BJP party are upset because they feel they don't have enough important jobs in the government and the party.

They say that people from the OBC community have more power.

The OBC community has 20 ministers in the government, which is about 37% of the total.

But Brahmins, who make up about 12-14% of the population, don't have as many important jobs.

Some people think the BJP is trying to keep the peace by giving equal power to Brahmins and Thakurs, another community.

The BJP also has leaders from other communities like Dalits and Vaishyas.

Experts say the BJP is focusing on OBCs but also trying to make sure no one community feels left out.
