Lucknow. Political activities have started intensifying in Uttar Pradesh regarding the 2027 assembly elections. While established parties like Bharatiya Janata Party, Samajwadi Party, Congress and Bahujan Samaj Party are already busy in preparing the election strategy, this time some new faces and new political platforms may also try to change the electoral picture. The announcement of former IAS officer Divya Mittal’s entry into politics and the increasing political activism of Rohini Ghavri have sparked a new discussion in the politics of the state.
Former IAS officer Divya Mittal has recently announced her entry into politics after leaving the Indian Administrative Service. Mittal has been a 2013 batch IAS officer of Uttar Pradesh cadre. He resigned in August 2026 after nearly 13 years of administrative service. After this, in the last week of September, he publicly talked about starting his political journey from Uttar Pradesh.
Divya Mittal has currently refused to join any established political party. She says that she wants to do politics with the public and raise the voice of those people whose problems sometimes do not reach the government machinery. Describing Uttar Pradesh as his workplace, he has announced to start his political journey from here.
However, the picture is not completely clear regarding whether Divya Mittal will form a new party or contest the elections through an independent political platform. Some reports have claimed that she is preparing to establish a new political force, whereas Divya Mittal has not yet officially announced the name or organizational structure of any party. Therefore, the discussion of forming a new party is currently being seen only as a political possibility.
Discussions have also started regarding Divya Mittal’s election seat. Some reports have claimed that she may contest the 2027 assembly elections, but she has not yet clarified from which assembly constituency she will contest. Given his administrative background and experience of working in different districts, his next move is being watched in the political circles.
On the other hand, Rohini Ghavri is also seen continuously active in the politics of Uttar Pradesh. She came into limelight after accusing Nagina MP Chandrashekhar Azad. Recently she also reached the court demanding registration of FIR against Chandrashekhar Azad. The court has sought a report from the police in the matter. After this incident, Rohini Ghavri’s political and public activism has once again come into discussion.
Political experts will keep an eye on whether Rohini Ghavri converts her activism into any political organization, new front or contesting assembly elections or not. At present, there has been no formal announcement of any new party or confirmation of his candidature from any seat for 2027. In such a situation, many possibilities are being created regarding his role, but the final picture will become clear only in the coming months.
The 2027 assembly elections of Uttar Pradesh are going to be important in many ways. Discussions regarding seat sharing between Samajwadi Party and Congress have already started. At the same time, BJP is also working on its election strategy keeping in mind the social and caste equations. As early as October 2026, indications of preparations for 2027 have started coming from both the major political camps.
In such an environment, the entry of a former bureaucrat like Divya Mittal into politics and the activism of a famous face like Rohini Ghavri can create a new political equation for the established parties. However, it is not considered easy to make space for new political parties and fronts in the politics of Uttar Pradesh. Here, strong organization, booth level team, social equations and wide support base play an important role for electoral success.
There is still time for the 2027 assembly elections, but the activism of new faces has indicated that the contest will not be limited to traditional parties only. In the coming months, it will become clear in what form Divya Mittal prepares her political platform and what role Rohini Ghavri plays in electoral politics. At present, the activities of these two faces have definitely increased the possibility of new fronts in the political field of Uttar Pradesh.
