Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Ratna Demand for Kanshi Ram Shakes UP Politics, Puts Mayawati, Akhilesh, BJP on Edge
- •Rahul Gandhi demands Bharat Ratna for Kanshi Ram, calling him a social justice warrior and Bahujan consciousness guide.
- •The demand is a 'political gamble' aimed at breaching Mayawati's Dalit vote bank and signaling a potential BSP alliance.
- •It creates anxiety for Akhilesh Yadav's SP, potentially undermining his PDA formula and strengthening Congress.
- •BJP faces a dilemma: granting the award gives credit to Rahul, denying it fuels an anti-Dalit narrative.
- •Historically, Congress lost its core Dalit vote to Kanshi Ram's BSP, a trend Rahul now seeks to reverse.
