18th June 2016: UP polls: Why is BJP hesitating in announcing its CM candidate? --Political observers point out that UP politics, more like Bihar and most other north Indian states is deeply divided on caste line and it is not easy for the BJP to pick a CM candidate who would be acceptable to all castes.
A closer look at the caste composition of UP reveals that the OBCs constitute around 40% of the electorate, Dalits 21%, Brahmins 11-13%, Thakurs 9% and Muslims around 19%.Among OBCs, Yadavs constitute 9% of the total electorate while Kushwahas are 8% with Kurmis constituting 3-4%, Lodh 2.2% and Jats 1.7% (Mainly powerful in Western UP) of the electorate.
Among Dalits, Jatavs alone constitute 10-12% of the electorate and they are loyal supporters of BSP supremo Mayawati.Meanwhile, the BJP continues to hunt for a CM candidate like Kalyan Singh who could do another successful experiment with social engineering.No one knows whether the party will finally find a CM candidate before elections or not. The party does not want to take any decision in haste and that’s the reason why it is hesitant in declaring the CM candidate.
