Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Small parties of 2024 Lok Sabha Elections What will I do? Everyone wants to know this, but it is a strange story Uttar Pradesh (UP) Of many small parties. Every big party is eager to form an electoral alliance with these parties, but is also worried about their frequent change of colors. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, they are claiming that without them no one can win the elections. How much impact will they have in this election and with whom will they stand in the end? This is also a big question. There is something that these parties guarantee to help the big parties cross the electoral hurdle. What is their strength that even the biggest parties are forced to compromise with them? That too according to some of their conditions.
In fact, after the influence of Bahujan Samaj Party increased, many leaders realized that the unity of a large section of a caste can change the fate of any leader. Omprakash Rajbhar tried to unite the Rajbhar community and Sanjay Nishad tried to unite the Nishads. Dr. Ayub tried to get the support of the Muslim class and Keshav Dev Maurya of the Mahan Party tried to get the support of the extremely backward castes like Maurya, Kashyap etc. Many such attempts were made. Some succeeded and a large number of caste-based political parties merged with time.
The irony is that the influence of all these leaders is limited to two-three districts. It is a different matter that these small parties keep making the big parties realize that no one should dare to ignore them. A Samajwadi Party leader says that forming an alliance is a compulsion, but these small parties are very disloyal. Every political party made electoral pacts with these small parties. But there are many who, wherever they see benefits, go with that. It is difficult to know with whom he will be in the next elections. It is an irony of politics that big parties are forced to attack these small parties. Now they themselves do not know with whom they will go to the elections.
Now who is this party with in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections? It is becoming clear that most want to go with BJP. But his claim that if anyone wins, it will be only by his grace has troubled everyone. Almost many small parties were with the Samajwadi Party in the 2022 assembly elections and as soon as the SP lost the elections, most of them started looking for their new destination.
Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party
Now Bharatiya Janata Party is much ahead in terms of support from smaller parties. Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party was with Samajwadi Party in the 2022 assembly elections. Om Prakash Rajbhar used to repeat this resolution several times a day that he will defeat Yogi Adityanath and send him back to his monastery. Now times have changed and resolutions are taken throughout the day to make Modi victorious.
His claim is that due to the influence of his party, NDA will get a huge lead and for this, party president Omprakash Rajbhar has also kept a long list of taking seats from BJP. It is a different matter that BJP has not yet been able to take any decision on their demand. Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party has influence on the voters of Rajbhar community and there are voters of Rajbhar community in half a dozen districts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Om Prakash Rajbhar is making politics dance with his gestures on the strength of the support of these voters. In 2017, he contested the assembly elections with the support of Bharatiya Janata Party. He had then claimed that it was because of his party’s support that the Bharatiya Janata Party got huge success in the Assembly. He also became a minister in the Yogi government, but when Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reduced his salary, he rebelled against BJP and Yogi.
Despite their rebellion, BJP got a huge success in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party stood with SP in the 2022 assembly elections. Now the same Om Prakash Rajbhar has joined BJP and keeps attacking Akhilesh Yadav. Now he claims that this time he will make BJP win with a huge majority in Uttar Pradesh.
Nishad Party
There is a party in Uttar Pradesh, Nishad Party. Its president is Sanjay Nishad. After many experiments in politics, he is now a minister in the Uttar Pradesh government and his son is an MP. They claim that they should be given at least two dozen Lok Sabha seats, because Nishads are in large numbers in Uttar Pradesh and they are the only leader of Nishads.
Sanjay Nishad makes one feel that Nishad follows his instructions only. In fact, there are a large number of Nishads in the settlements on the banks of Ganga and Jamuna. If you ever talk to Sanjay Nishad, he never forgets to tell how many people have won elections because of him.
Till a few years ago, Sanjay Nishad was a doctor of homeopathy. One day the train was stopped to demand inclusion of Nishads in the Scheduled Caste category. This movement led to violence and he went to jail. When he came out of jail, Sanjay Nishad became the leader of Nishads from a doctor. After this, Sanjay Nishad made an electoral alliance with the Peace Party, which claims to be the leader of Muslims.
Sanjay Nishad made Nishad Party contest elections on 72 seats, but got success on only one. Sanjay Nishad understood that the Peace Party did not have much strength, hence distanced himself from it and made a compromise with SP in the by-elections held on three Lok Sabha seats in 2018.
From Gorakhpur, he made his son Praveen Kumar Nishad contest from SP and Praveen also won the election. Sanjay Nishad’s strength has increased with this victory. After this he declared himself a candidate for the post of Chief Minister. If that matter also did not yield any results, then he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. BJP sent him to the Legislative Council.
One of his sons, Praveen Kumar Nishad, is a BJP MP from Sant Kabir Nagar and the other son is a BJP MLA. Himself a member of the Legislative Council. Now they are making many claims to make Modi the Prime Minister, but for this they also need seats, which BJP does not want to give them.
peace party
Peace Party is a party of Uttar Pradesh. The founder of this party is Dr. Ayub, who is a surgeon. In the year 2008, he formed a party and named it Peace Party. In 2012, the Peace Party managed to win four seats and its status increased. In 2014, Dr. Ayub called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a terrorist, but gradually he came to know the direction of the wind. They are making all efforts so that NDA takes them with them.
He tells Muslims not to maintain too much distance from BJP. She is not an enemy of Muslims. Peace Party has also formed alliance with many parties. What will happen in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections will be known later.
One party is the ‘Great Party’. Mahan Dal President Keshav Dev Maurya has always been claiming that the extremely backward class is with him. Keshav Dev Maurya was with Akhilesh in the 2022 assembly elections and used to tour for his campaign. He had declared that Akhilesh’s wave was going on and Akhilesh had sent him a car for campaigning. Elections were held and Samajwadi Party was defeated.
After this, Mahan Dal leader Keshav Dev Maurya turned and broke the alliance with SP, then angry Akhilesh Yadav snatched the car given to him. Due to this Keshav Dev Maurya became very angry with Akhilesh.
Amidst all this, ‘Apna Dal’ has been continuously with BJP for the last ten years and is also its partner in the throne of Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. Apna Dal President Anupriya Patel is the daughter of Sonelal Patel. Sonelal Patel was once in BSP and when Mayawati expelled him from the party, he formed his own party and united the Kurmis.
He died in a road accident in 2009. After his sudden death, Anupriya Patel started leading the party. But there was a rebellion in the house against Anupriya Patel and the party got divided into two parts. The leader of one is Anupriya Patel and the leader of the other Apna Dal Kamera is her mother Krishna Patel and her daughter and Anupriya’s sister Pallavi Patel.
Pallavi Patel defeated Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya in the last assembly elections. Now Anupriya Patel is a minister in the Narendra Modi government and her husband is a minister in the Uttar Pradesh Yogi government. All such political parties have merged with time. There is no doubt that small parties continue to dominate the politics of Uttar Pradesh. It is a different matter that he exaggerates his strength manifold, so that his shop keeps shining.
