PM Modi filed nomination from Varanasi, CM Yogi was also present along with him

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will file nomination from Varanasi Lok Sabha seat today. For this, the names of four proposers have been finalized, which include the names of Pandit Ganeshwar Shastri, Baijnath Patel, Lalchand Kushwaha and Sanjay Sonkar. After the appearance of these names, political speculations have started. Actually, elections are yet to be held on many Lok Sabha seats of Uttar Pradesh and the influence of OBCs and Dalits is more on all these seats. Therefore, it is being considered a big step to create caste vote bank.

These castes dominate 26 seats of Purvanchal
Purvanchal region of UP also brings its own distinct politics. A total of 26 Lok Sabha seats emerge from this region. Only 32 percent population of entire UP lives in this Purvanchal. It is also considered a backward area of UP and farmers play a decisive role here. But despite being backward, Purvanchal is also the region that has given five Prime Ministers to the country. Rajbhar, Nishad and Chauhan castes dominate this area. Purvanchal includes districts like Varanasi, Jaunpur, Bhadohi, Mirzapur, Gorakhpur, Kushinagar, Sonbhadra, Kushinagar, Deoria, Maharajganj, Sant Kabirnagar, Basti, Azamgarh, Mau, Ghazipur, Ballia, Siddharthnagar, Chandauli, Ayodhya, Gonda.
