In this episode, we talked to Mrityunjay Sharma, a politician, entrepreneur, author of Broken Promises, and the Election Management Chief of BJP in Jharkhand. He shared a side of Uttar Pradesh that most people only know from movies.
We explore how UP’s gangster-politician image came to be, starting from student fights in Gorakhpur University to the Bahubali rule in Purvanchal. We also talk about the rise of Yogi Adityanath, the impact of encounter politics, and how the state has changed.
In the last segment, we dig into complex issues like delimitation, how the South may get fewer seats in Parliament, and whether the Samajwadi Party has any future in UP.
