UP Assembly Elections: The first and second phase of elections in Uttar Pradesh are starting from western Uttar Pradesh. Everyone’s eyes are on the first and second phase of polling because, it is believed that this will create an atmosphere of the entire state. With the increase in the number of Muslim voters in the first-second phase of polling in the assembly seats and the arrival of Jayant Chaudhary with Akhilesh Yadav, the question is getting bigger as to how much trouble will increase for the Bharatiya Janata Party. This is the reason, Amit Shah himself has taken over the front of Western Uttar Pradesh.
After the virtual rally from January 31, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also going to hold the first meeting in Bijnor on February 7. The Bharatiya Janata Party has put its full force in western Uttar Pradesh. All this despite the fact that in western Uttar Pradesh, the Bharatiya Janata Party has distributed tickets very neatly. Where bad reports were received, without hesitation, the tickets of the MLAs were cut, but in the East, the Bharatiya Janata Party does not seem to be able to do so. The Bharatiya Janata Party has not been able to cut the tickets of the MLAs against whom there is resentment among the public and especially among the BJP workers.
And, there are seats like the Northern Vidhan Sabha of Prayagraj, where the candidate has not been declared in time. Despite the atmosphere against the candidates who won from other parties in Jaunpur, their ticket could not be cut. In Jaunpur, Mau, Azamgarh and Ghazipur, Omprakash Rajbhar’s influence is also in many assembly constituencies. In such a situation, a more difficult road for the Bharatiya Janata Party is seen in the East than in the West. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has done little in ticket distribution.
Leaders who became MLAs from BJP from other parties kept BJP workers aside for five years and due to this there is anger of the workers, but after the atmosphere created after Swami Prasad Maurya left the party, BJP cut the tickets of less MLAs in the East . Now the Bharatiya Janata Party is seeing the name of Modi-Yogi as a cut of the mobilization of Muslim votes with Omprakash Rajbhar in the East.
The action on Mukhtar Ansari has united Hindu voters, so it is also true that Muslim voters in Mau, Ghazipur and Azamgarh are standing blindly with the alliance of Samajwadi Party and Omprakash Rajbhar to defeat the BJP. . Now the Bharatiya Janata Party is trying its best that, if the election is completely on Modi-Yogi, then the mobilization of 2017 should come with it. In western Uttar Pradesh, the BJP has not suffered any major loss in the caste mobilization. The anger of the Jats that is being talked about, because of being against Ajit Singh, the other was already there.
Now due to the anti-agriculture law movement, Jat politics may seem to be against the BJP, but Amit Shah and Jat leaders like Dr. The provocative statements of Samajwadi Party candidates have also worked in favor of the Bharatiya Janata Party, but in the East, at present, no such convenience is visible in favor of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
BJP will again get more than 300 seats in UP: CM Yogi
The Bharatiya Janata Party has faith in the Purvanchal, the biggest strength of the party is only on Narendra Modi. Will Narendra Modi’s public representative from Kashi cover the BJP’s weaknesses and also how much Yogi Adityanath’s contest from Gorakhpur city will add to the brand Modi, now the BJP’s entire hope rests on this. It is a natural choice to contest the election of Yogi Adityanath from Gorakhpur, but there is a reason behind contesting the election of Yogi Adityanath from Gorakhpur city. May be easier in Deoria and Basti districts.
After a long time, Purvanchal has got the Chief Minister, it can be beneficial for the Bharatiya Janata Party. The convenience for the Bharatiya Janata Party in Purvanchal is that, here the elections are in the last phases and till then the wind of the west and Awadh region will influence the air of the east. Despite all this, it is seen that the seats of the Bharatiya Janata Party are going to decrease in the East, whereas, in the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh, the share in development plans has strengthened since 2014 with the coming to power of Narendra Modi and in 2017 the North After the formation of the BJP government in the state also, the East stood against the West in every scale of development.
Be it Purvanchal Expressway or Prayagraj to Kashi Highway-Railway or air travel- BJP has made the journey to the East easy for everyone, but will the political journey to the East be as easy for the BJP as well. Even BJP leaders are not able to answer this with ease. Everyone is saying that, if the westerly wind blows well, then agriculture will be fine in the east too.
