Overview
- The newly appointed state unit chief issued the caution late Thursday, two days after a dinner of Brahmin BJP MLAs and MLCs in Lucknow.
- He said caste-based meetings violate the party’s constitution, warned repeats would be treated as indiscipline, and told attendees such acts send the wrong message.
- The dinner was hosted at Kushinagar MLA P N Pathak’s residence, where sources said alleged bias against Brahmins was discussed.
- Pathak described it as a community dinner focused on the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and development work in their constituencies.
- Menhdawal MLA Anil Tripathi cited concerns about humiliation of the community, and the Opposition compared the episode to an earlier informal Kshatriya MLAs’ gathering in Lucknow.
