NDA ally warns ‘G for Ganna’ could dent Akhilesh Yadav’s hold in UP’s Jat belt

The warning was issued as political parties intensify preparations for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, with Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav seeking to retain support in the state’s Jat‑rich belt. A senior figure from an NDA partner told media that the “G for Ganna” initiative—likely a campaign linked to sugarcane farmers—could erode the Samajwadi Party’s vote base in those constituencies. The comment highlights the heightened competition in Jat‑dominant districts, where agricultural issues such as sugarcane pricing have become pivotal election topics. Both sides have yet to detail specific strategies, and the election commission has not issued any statement on the matter.
