Brahmin MLAs Hold Closed-Door Meeting in Lucknow, Sparking Speculation

Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh – December 25, 2025 – A dinner meeting of approximately 35 Brahmin Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and Members of the Legislative Council (MLCs) in Lucknow on December 23rd has stirred speculation within Uttar Pradesh political circles. Hosted by Kushinagar MLA Panchanand Pathak, the gathering reportedly addressed a range of issues, including the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) program, constituency concerns, matters relevant to the Brahmin community, and broader strategies for the state.

Attendees included prominent figures such as Mirzapur MLA Ratnakar Mishra, Banda MLA Prakash Dwivedi, Tulsipur MLA Kailash Nath Shukla, and MLC Saket Mishra.

While Pathak described the meeting as a “courtesy get-together” in a “family-like environment,” the closed-door nature of the discussion and the significant representation of the Brahmin community – which constitutes over 9% of Uttar Pradesh’s population and holds over 50 Assembly seats – have fueled rumors regarding potential political maneuvering. No official statement was released following the meeting, leaving observers to interpret the gathering’s significance.
