The Samajwadi Party (SP) is gearing up to commemorate the 135th birth anniversary of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar with a series of statewide programs aimed at strengthening its ties with Dalit communities in Uttar Pradesh, India, ahead of the 2027 assembly elections. The party intends to convey a message that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) poses a threat to the Constitution, claiming that constitutional rights of Dalits and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) are at risk under BJP governance. The SP Ambedkar Vahini, led by Mithai Lal Bharti, will organize district-level events, including seminars on constitutional values and distribution of Ambedkar portraits. This outreach is part of SP's broader strategy to consolidate its PDA (Pichhde, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) support base, which has proven effective in previous elections. In the 2022 elections, the SP emerged as the principal opposition party by securing support from Yadavs, Muslims, and significant Dalit votes. The party's efforts to engage Dalits have evolved from symbolic gestures to more structured inclusion, as seen in its observance of Ambedkar's and Kanshi Ram's anniversaries in recent years.
