Will Upper-Caste Discontent After Bihar Loss Hurt BJP in UP?

The BJP is a big political party in India.

For many years, one of its biggest groups of supporters has been people called upper castes.

Lately, these supporters are angry with the party.

It started when the government made new rules for colleges and universities.

The government said these rules would stop unfair treatment of students based on caste.

But many upper-caste students said the rules were unfair and could cause fights between groups.

The Supreme Court, which is the highest court in the country, stopped the new rules for now.

The party recently lost an election in a state called Bihar, and leaders think the angry upper-caste voters helped cause that loss.

Now the party is worried it might lose votes in another big state, Uttar Pradesh.

The party's top leaders are holding meetings to try to calm people down.
