The politics of Uttar Pradesh is a cobweb of social groups and their interplay. Besides the upper castes, Jats, Yadavs, Kurmis, Other Backward Castes, the Muslims also make up an important part of the political competition that elections bring with them.
The electoral battle in the state is a four-corner one and is fought between the two regional parties---Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) which is currently in power and the Sanajwadi Party (SP) and the two national parties---the Congress and BJP.
Here we take a look at the vote-share of each of these four parties among the main social groups in the state in the 2007 and 2012 Assembly elections and 2009 Lok Sabha election for convenience of comparison:
