Former minister Swami Prasad Maurya is facing a triangular struggle in Kushinagar's Fazilnagar seat after leaving the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and joining the Samajwadi Party (SP) during the assembly elections. According to caste equations, the Fazilnagar Assembly seat has the most votes from the minority group, followed by Brahmins and Kurmi voters. In this seat, Kushwaha voters are ranked fourth, Dalit voters are fifth, and Yadav and Vaishya voters are sixth.

The BJP has nominated Surendra Kushwaha, son of two-time MLA Ganga Singh Kushwaha, in opposition to SP candidate Swami Prasad Maurya, while the BSP has chosen veteran SP leader Ilyas Ansari. According to political pundits, the race in Fazilnagar is a fight for the BJP's survival. Swami Prasad Maurya, a BJP minister who, along with hundreds of other politicians, had made severe claims against the party, quit the party and joined the SP, where he campaigned for the SP's administration in the state.

His son Ashok Maurya has crafted the pitch for his upcoming election campaign here. Swami Prasad Maurya has now seized possession of the region himself, while the BJP's top leadership has begun the chakravyuh process to corner Swami Prasad Maurya. The party has begun deploying its top campaigners here for this purpose.

BSP candidates are planning to make a major impact by bridging the gap between the minority and Dalit communities. Ilyas Ansari, a BSP candidate, is considered to have a strong popular following. The BSP candidate seems to be courting support from both the BJP and the SP parties in this circumstance.

According to political observers, minority, Brahmin, and Kurmi voters may play a significant role in the Fazilnagar elections. The minority seems to be in the hands of both the SP and the BSP at the moment, but only time will tell what its stance will become election time, while most Brahmin voters appear to be flocking to the BJP, while some Brahmins are viewed as supporters of both the SP and the BSP. At the same time, the Kushwaha community is seen moving towards both the BJP and the SP in Chanath, Aadiya, and Kurmi voters, while the Yadavs are seen leaning towards the SP and the Vaishya BJP. Overall, the party that recruits brahmins, Chanath, Kurmi, and period voters may have a greater electoral edge.

Saini, Musahar, Gand, Bhar, Sharma (Blacksmith, Carpenter), Sahni, Rawat, Bhedihar, Chauhan, and a dozen other community voters may play a significant role in the election, according to political observers. It demonstrates that the inhabitants of this culture are less visible in society, and they are also accused of having no one ask us questions. In such a case, whoever aligns them with the party or candidate will see the outcome shift dramatically. According to your calculations, you are politically astute. According to him, the conflict in this area seems to be triangular. If the BSP competes against Talk, the outcomes might be unexpected.
