LUCKNOW, Oct. 15 -- Piqued over the denial of seats by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party (SBSP) president and Uttar Pradesh Panchayati Raj Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar has decided to float a new front to contest the Bihar assembly elections. "We urged the BJP leadership for four to five seats, but the demand was declined. Now, the SBSP has decided to contest the assembly elections on its own strength," Rajbhar said. "Talks are underway with Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), Bhagidari Party (Prajapati) and other smaller parties to form an alliance for the Bihar assembly elections. Of the 243 assembly seats in Bihar, my party has been working on 153. Of the 121 assembly seats going to polls in the first phase on November 6, the SBSP will field candidates on 52. We will release the list of candidates for the second phase soon," he added. "The SBSP has mobilised Dalits and extremely backward communities (EBCs). We will show our strength in the upcoming assembly elections. If our front hurts the prospects of the NDA, it won't be my fault," he said. "Party's national general secretary Arvind Rajbhar is in Bihar to finalise candidates. We have decided to contest the assembly elections at the request of party workers and supporters," SBSP chief Rajbhar said. "Senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan is reportedly not comfortable with the party leadership ahead of the 2027 assembly elections in UP and may float a front with AIMIM and regional parties," Rajbhar said. He added, "The BSP's show of strength in its October 9 rally has been a major setback for the SP's PDA formula. The large turnout in the recent rally has motivated the BSP cadre. The BSP will also challenge Azad Samaj Party (ASP) chief Chandrashekhar Azad in expanding the Dalit base in UP."...
