After the beginning of the political innings of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP’s saffron started waving in Varanasi city which was once a Congress stronghold. The BJP performed extremely well in the Lok Sabha elections as well as the assembly elections here, but for some time now, there is a possibility of anti-government stance in Varanasi as well. The Congress’ victory in the student union elections of Kashi Vidyapeeth and Sampurnanand Sanskrit Vishwavidyalaya is again showing hope for the party in the region.
It is believed that Congress candidate from Pindra, Ajay Rai is fighting a very strong fight in this election and he can register victory from there. Similarly, old veteran Congress leader Rajesh Mishra is in the electoral fray from Banaras Cantt. Rajesh Mishra, who came as a Brahmin face, has a personal acquaintance with the common residents of the city. It is being told that Rajesh Mishra, riding on the boat of anti-incumbency and Brahmin candidates, can strengthen the Congress this time by registering his victory from here.
Rajeshwar Patel is in the fray from Rohaniya seat of Varanasi. A normal face, Patel has handled the caste equations here very beautifully. Here he is said to be getting full support of Brahmin, Kurmi-Patel and Nishad community. It is believed that Congress can win this seat as well.
Congress is said to be fighting a good fight in three seats of Varanasi and Samajwadi Party in two seats. That is, in about five seats out of eight seats, the opposition seems to be heavy, while in the remaining three seats, the BJP MLAs are also facing a tremendous amount of anti-incumbency factor. If BJP candidates face defeat in Varanasi seats, it may affect the image of the PM as well. Probably this is the reason why Prime Minister Narendra Modi will camp here for three consecutive days and campaign for the party candidates. It remains to be seen how successful this strategy of PM will be in Varanasi at the last minute.
Priyanka was constantly active
Uttar Pradesh Congress vice-president and party’s star campaigner Vishwavijay Singh said that Priyanka Gandhi has been working hard not only at the time of elections, but since the time of Lok Sabha elections. She has been coming to Varanasi regularly and making contact with people on a personal level. Sometimes on the issue of farmers and sometimes on the issue of Nishad, she has not only been raising her voice, but has also drawn the attention of people by taking out trips for it. Similarly, when there was an attempt to divert the natural stream of Ganga in the name of development in Varanasi and saints opposed it, Priyanka Gandhi emerged as their voice.
The Congress leader said that the victory of the Congress in the student union elections shows that a good thinking for the party has again developed among the youth here. He said that it would definitely have an impact on the election results and Congress would perform well in this assembly election in Varanasi as well as in the entire state.
