Lucknow: The Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party, a constituent of the BJP-led NDA, has staked a claim to 32 seats for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, intending to wrest the Samajwadi Party’s stronghold of Azamgarh.
Speaking to PTI, the party’s national general secretary and chief spokesperson, Arun Rajbhar said the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) is working at the grassroots level and confirmed that it has sought a share of 32 seats within the NDA.
“I am active in the Atraulia assembly constituency and will be the NDA candidate there. Discussions have already taken place. The SBSP has staked claim to Mehnagar, Didarganj, and Atraulia seats in Azamgarh,” he said.
The SBSP, along with the Nishad Party, is pressing for an early seat allocation to avoid last-minute friction and has met with senior BJP leaders in New Delhi.
SBSP chief Rajbhar held rallies in Azamgarh, confidently predicting that the NDA will completely dismantle the SP’s influence and win all 10 seats in the region.
The SBSP has actively campaigned against the SP’s strongholds, predicting the opposition party will fall back to its lower 2017 tally.
