LIVE | In this episode of UP Bulletin, we examine the latest political developments in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. From the Agniveer recruitment scheme and unemployment to Dalit politics and the opposition’s strategy against the BJP, several key issues are shaping the state’s political landscape.
The Centre has approved an additional two years of service for Agniveers, giving them an option to serve for six years instead of four. The decision has triggered a fresh political debate in Uttar Pradesh. While the BJP is presenting it as a significant step for Agniveers, Samajwadi Party MP Awadhesh Prasad has promised to scrap the scheme within 24 hours if his party comes to power. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has also announced 20% reservation for former Agniveers in several UP government departments, along with direct recruitment opportunities. But what do these announcements actually mean for aspiring candidates and returning Agniveers?
We also look at Mayawati’s major BSP meeting in Lucknow, where party leaders from all 75 districts gathered to discuss preparations for the 2027 elections. Mayawati has announced a major rally on December 6 at the Ambedkar Social Transformation Site. Meanwhile, Chandrashekhar Azad is preparing for a November 26 rally in Lucknow, with a possible AIMIM alliance with Asaduddin Owaisi adding another dimension to Dalit politics in Uttar Pradesh.
The episode also covers Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s attack on the Samajwadi Party and Congress during the BJP’s ‘Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao’ march in Ghaziabad. Yogi’s remarks drew a sharp response from opposition leaders.
Watch the full episode for a detailed look at Agniveer politics, BSP’s election strategy, Mayawati’s rally, Chandrashekhar-Owaisi’s political moves and the changing political equations ahead of UP Election 2027.
