Omprakash Rajbhar's party Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) has opposed Chirag Paswan's entry into Uttar Pradesh politics. Party's national general secretary Arvind Rajbhar has said that when he was not allowed to be a part of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar, he too will not allow parties from Bihar to come to UP. Arvind Rajbhar was also pointing towards NDA's partner Janata Dal United (JDU) in Bihar. In fact, JDU leader Nishant Kumar may also visit Uttar Pradesh soon to seek political ground. SBSP has warned that if Bihar parties are given place in UP, it may consider different options from NDA.
Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) President Chirag Paswan is going to launch the party's 'Nav Sankalp Mahasabha' campaign from Varanasi on Thursday. Chirag Paswan is busy strengthening his organization in UP. LJP (Ram Vilas) has been active in the state for the last one year and is forming committees at the booth level. JDU leader Nishant Kumar is also going to address party workers in Uttar Pradesh soon. In such a situation, the activism of both the parties of Bihar has increased the concern of the old allies of BJP in the state.
What did Arvind Rajbhar say?
Arvind Rajbhar, national general secretary of Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP), said, 'When we were not allowed to be a part of NDA in Bihar, we will not allow parties from Bihar to come to Uttar Pradesh. No matter which party it is. If this happens, Suheldev Party will consider other options. Arvind Rajbhar even said that if any outside party is included in NDA, then his party will be forced to think something else.

Chirag Paswan active in UP
The focus of Chirag Paswan's party is on Purvanchal and Central Uttar Pradesh. There is a good population of Pasi and Paswan communities in these areas. BJP hopes that with Chirag's entry into the party, it can get support from non-Jatav Dalit votes. With this, the PDA strategy of Samajwadi Party can also be challenged.
Chirag Paswan's statement given in the program in Varanasi has also become a topic of discussion in political circles. He said, 'I have come out with a shroud over my head and will not breathe easy until I make Uttar Pradesh a developed state.'

SBSP did not get place in Bihar elections
SBSP chief Omprakash Rajbhar's party wanted to contest the 2025 Bihar assembly elections in alliance with the NDA. However, BJP did not give him a place in the alliance. After this, SBSP fielded its candidates on some seats of Bihar and also supported Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). However, the party did not get any significant success in the elections.
Now Arvind Rajbhar's statement is being linked to this resentment. The party says that when it did not get a chance to contest elections with NDA in Bihar, then the parties of Bihar cannot be allowed to expand in Uttar Pradesh.
