Samajwadi Party’s Dalit leaders criticized the proposal of sub-categorizing Scheduled Castes, calling it a divisive strategy. Veteran MPs RK Chaudhary and Awadhesh Prasad asserted that the SP, led by Akhilesh Yadav, supports SC/ST unity as envisioned by Ambedkar. This stance aligns with the party’s effort to appeal to the weakening BSP vote base.
