Snehashish RoyJanuary 18, 20220

The Dalit community accounts for as many as 21% of the total vote population in Uttar Pradesh. A section of the population that has decided the fate of politics in the state for the last couple of decades.

The party went into an overhaul after Mayawati took charge as the first Dalit woman in India to become a chief minister of a state.
