In this episode, we talked to Mrityunjay Sharma, a politician, entrepreneur, author of Broken Promises, and the Election Management Chief of BJP in Jharkhand. From the Bahubali culture to the power struggles inside political families, he shares 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. Mrityunjay breaks down how figures like Shri Prakash Shukla and Mukhtar Ansari built their empires, why people used to vote for them, and how caste loyalty often outweighs a clean record. 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 the lesser-known reasons behind UP’s high migration, why businesses are still scared to set up there, and whether Yogi Adityanath could be India’s next PM. Mrityunjay also explains complex issues like delimitation, how the South may get fewer seats in Parliament, and whether the Samajwadi Party has any future in UP.
