From Lucknow, a confident Uttar Pradesh minister Sanjay Nishad has drawn battle lines for 2027, vowing to dismantle Samajwadi Party’s post-2024 euphoria. ‘The ’37’ swagger breaks in ’27,’ he stated categorically, alluding to SP’s 37 UP seats in the national polls.
He first extended felicitations to BJP’s newly minted national president, calling it a testament to meritocracy. ‘Ordinary members ascend to lead—BJP’s structure is democracy personified.’
On the Prayagraj impasse featuring Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand, Nishad advocated simplicity. ‘Ascetics avoid pleasures; society advances following their disciplined lives, irrespective of travel modes.’
Replying to Congress’s Digvijaya Singh on RSS, he was unsparing. ‘RSS embodies service to humanity; Congress divides. They need a new arena away from RSS.’
Regarding Bangladesh ties, Nishad highlighted betrayals. ‘Good relations persist until wrong rulers emerge, turning friends to foes. India’s foundational aid ignored amid radical anti-Hindu waves—response will be measured yet decisive.’
Portraying SP as vacuous and illusory, Nishad’s multi-pronged attack signals BJP’s roadmap. As alliances shift and campaigns ignite, his pronouncements fuel anticipation for UP’s next political showdown.
