The political battle over the Jat vote in western Uttar Pradesh appears to be intensifying after the murder of popular singer Ankit Baliyan in Shamli. Just days after the killing, two alleged shooters were reportedly killed in a police encounter, triggering questions from Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over the authenticity of the encounter.
Meanwhile, Rashtriya Lok Dal leader Jayant Chaudhary met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and later visited Ankit Baliyan’s family, demanding justice for the slain singer.
The developments have brought the political equations between Akhilesh Yadav and Jayant Chaudhary back into focus. With the Jat community playing a crucial role in western UP politics, both leaders appear to be positioning themselves as the stronger voice for the community.
