Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav is trying to broaden his support base by making inroads among Brahmins and the Bania community, according to the input.
He has been accusing the Chief Minister and the state government of being anti-Brahmins and anti-Banias, as part of a political pitch that contrasts Gorakhpur and Kashi narratives.
The remarks appear aimed at consolidating support among key social groups, though the broader political impact of the strategy remains to be seen.
