Experts say that the government had extended the free ration to the poor till March. That is, according to the plan of the central government, this ration given to the poor is not forever. In such a situation, the big question is whether or not that plan, due to which the power is coming back in Uttar Pradesh, will be continued or not.
Bharatiya Janata Party leaders say that the government is set to return in Uttar Pradesh due to numerous issues like women’s safety and better law and order, including the schemes of the double engine government at the Center and the state. The Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Dr Dinesh Sharma says that the way the wheel of development is spinning in the state, the picture of Uttar Pradesh has not been made.
Dr. Dinesh Sharma says that innumerable schemes like Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana are in the interest of the poor people of Uttar Pradesh. But political analysts believe that the free ration scheme is definitely going to prove to be a big challenge for the next government. Political expert SN Chandra says that this scheme started during the Corona era was to be closed last year itself. But it was extended till Holi.
He says that the free ration in Uttar Pradesh is also being seen as a big key to governance. He says that during his election tour, he considered the assessment of free ration as one of the main reasons that brought Uttar Pradesh back to power.
Neeraj Shukla, secretary of the former head union of Uttar Pradesh, says that the poor have already been given free ration in the state. So it is not a challenge for the government at all. He says that during COVID there was an increase in the free ration, but not all schemes are always going to work. People are aware of this too.
He says that ration is a big factor in the return of the Bharatiya Janata Party government, but it is not the only factor, we have to keep this in mind. Neeraj says that even better than Uttar Pradesh, the responsibility of law and order and security arrangements for women, which the government has taken up, is making the biggest contribution to the return of the BJP government.
The Samajwadi Party is very aggressive about the free ration available in Uttar Pradesh. Senior leaders of the Samajwadi Party say that the BJP government has been cheating the poor since the beginning. He says that the first thing is that because of this fraud, the Bharatiya Janata Party government is not going to repeat in Uttar Pradesh.
He says that the poor of the state already knew that due to the elections, the government has taken forward the free ration. And as soon as the election is over, the free rations available twice a month like salt, oil and pulses will stop. So this is the reason that due to these policies of the government, the people have decided to show the way out to the Uttar Pradesh government.
Samajwadi Party’s national spokesperson and former Uttar Pradesh government minister Rajendra Chaudhary says that the exit poll estimates are going to be completely wrong. His government has given the mandate to make Akhilesh Yadav the chief minister in Uttar Pradesh with more than 300 seats. He says that now the real results will also come out on Thursday.
