According to reports by Hindustan Times and Patrika the Samajwadi Party (SP) is preparing to hold a major Dalit Mahasammelan in Agra on Sunday November 15. Party national president Akhilesh Yadav is scheduled to attend the event at the GIC Ground in Panchkuiyan as the chief guest marking an early outreach ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
As reported by Patrika Akhilesh Yadav will arrive in Agra from Saifai and spend roughly two hours interacting with party workers and members of the Dalit community between 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM. SP Rajya Sabha MP and national general secretary Ramjilal Suman who is leading the preparations noted that delegates from nearly 30 districts across western Uttar Pradesh are expected to gather for the event.
According to statements cited by Hindustan Times Suman stated that the party aims to strengthen its PDA (Pichhda Dalit Alpsankhyak) social coalition and appeal to traditional Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) voters. He claimed that Dalit voters are looking toward the SP as a primary challenger to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which won all nine assembly seats in Agra during the 2017 and 2022 elections.
Meanwhile Hindustan Times also noted that the BSP is preparing its own political response in the region with BSP national coordinator Akash Anand scheduled to address a public meeting in Agra Etmadpur on November 22. With both parties targeting this key demographic Agra historically known as a major center for Dalit politics in Uttar Pradesh is witnessing heightened political activity ahead of the 2027 polls.
