This party was founded only in the name of Dalit upliftment, and has been so for all these years.
In the meantime, they realised that it doesn't make sense( read vote bank) to claim only 'dalits', hence all others were also included like OBCs, Muslims, etc. Now they thought under the present situation (division of votes between 4 parties - BJP, SP, BSP, Cong) it will make sense (read vote bank) to include Brahmins also inside the umbrella. Hence some tickets were also issued to Brahmins in thier strong hold.
Don't ever imagine that they really love Brahmins, and will do something to the Brahmins if they come to power. It may be a political arithmatic. We should be really happy if they come to power and do something for the betterment of this great, but, minority community.
