AMRITSAR: Despite having resided in the region for multiple generations, the people from Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Bihar continue to encounter the stigma of being referred to as "bhaiyaee" and struggle for acceptance within the societal framework.
However, their substantial voting bloc remains influential, prompting politicians to actively engage with them, promising equal standing and the resolution of various concerns including cancellation of their voting and ration cards even as nearly 15 migrant candidates from the community are contesting the upcoming Amritsar Municipal Corporation (AMC) elections.
