BSP leaders say western Uttar Pradesh has traditionally been the party’s stronghold, with a large Dalit-Muslim population, especially Jatavs, considered party's core voters.
Beginning with eastern UP, ruling party plans to shift its focus to western region, where Jatavs form a significant voter base. It also looks to counter opposition's PDA narrative.
BSP's vote share dropped to 13% in 2022 assembly polls, from 22.23% in 2017. With Uttar Pradesh set to go to the polls again in 2027, the Mayawati-led party is looking to get a head start.

Though Mayawati did not announce Akash as her political heir again, a new post was created for him. Senior party functionaries say BSP never had any such post.
For now, Bahujan Samaj Party supremo makes it clear that Akash will no longer be her political successor. No room for forgiveness to Ashok Siddharth, she asserts.
