Keeping up with UP: Can Congress-SP quota card breach the Sanatan narrative?
- The Congress moves in untested territory as they have not been the first choice of Other Backward Classes (OBCs)
The article discusses the political dynamics in Uttar Pradesh (UP) ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, focusing on the strategies of the Congress and Samajwadi Party (SP) to counter the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The opposition's strategy includes highlighting social justice issues and economic disparities, trying to shift the political discourse from religious identity to caste and economic justice.
