Lucknow: With the BJP focussing on OBC votes in Uttar Pradesh, it is now BJP MP from Unnao, Sakshi Maharaj, who has thrown his hat into the ring and is promoting his name as the chief ministerial candidate.
“There is nothing wrong if one aspires for a post. There are many leaders in the BJP who can be chief ministers and they include Smriti Irani, Yogi Adityanath, Mahesh Sharma, Dinesh Sharma, Varun Gandhi and myself,” he said.
According to the BJP MP, his suitability for the top post rests on the fact that he belongs to the Lodh community which comes in the OBC category and is spread across 11 Lok Sabha seats. The Lodhs constitute about three per cent of the total population of Uttar Pradesh.
