The Moradabad belt has always posed a challenge for the Bhartiya Janta Party because of its high Jat and Muslim voter composition.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath unveiled a statue of Jat leader and former prime minister Chaudhary Charan Singh on Saturday, in a move to win over the state's Jat community ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
The 51-foot statue was unveiled in West UP's Moradabad, an area with a strong Jat community presence. With just months to go before the big polls, the BJP is seeking the support of the community, which has in the past, sided with the Samajwadi Party and its alliance with the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) Alliance -- a party headed by Chaudhary Charan Singh's grandson.
