Senior political analyst Sunil Pandey told AnyTV that even in the Yogi Adityanath government, Hathras, Agra, Gorakhpur incident and Phaphamau-Lakhimpur Kheri incident have been seen to make the BJP uncomfortable. But strict action on criminals is the result of Yogi Adityanath government’s policy that the issue of security is not going against them but it seems to be going against SP.
The UP assembly elections have now entered the fourth phase. The BJP has made security an important issue so far, but by the time the fourth phase approaches, its leaders have also tried to make terrorism a prominent issue. Surprisingly, till now he has not made any big statement on the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya. So has the BJP accepted that Ayodhya will no longer prove effective in wooing voters? Now voting is to be held in the areas of Awadh and Purvanchal, so will the BJP try to capitalize on the Ayodhya issue in these areas? What will be his strategy in the elections that have reached the Awadh region in the fourth phase?
In the initial phase, the BJP had once again tried to start its election campaign with the help of the temple construction issue in Ayodhya. Yogi Adityanath had tried to connect the public with him even after completing the grand Diwali worship program in Ayodhya. He was also occasionally seen raising the issue of construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya in his election speeches, but without seeing any positive response from the public, he also left the issue behind. Instead they started raising the issue of 80 and 20 more bulldozers.
SP made unemployment-inflation issue
At the same time, SP President Akhilesh Yadav has been speaking continuously on the issue of inflation and unemployment. Perhaps they know that these issues will be able to establish them among the youth and voters. Even after the PM satirized the use of cycle in the Ahmedabad terrorist incident, he did not react strongly to it. Rather, on the questions of journalists, he only said that BJP is raising all these issues so that it does not have to answer on employment and inflation. That is, Akhilesh Yadav is reacting more consciously to his issues.
Instead of giving a provocative response, the way they are surrounding the government on the issue of employment and inflation through press conferences, the entire election seems to be focused on these issues. He is expected to continue this stand in the coming phases as well. Perhaps this is the reason why the BJP has cleverly started linking the entire election with the issue of security. It is also seen to be successful in making security a big issue in the elections.
Is Ram Mandir no longer an issue?
Senior political analyst Sunil Pandey told AnyTV that BJP also realizes that Ram temple construction is no longer a big election issue among voters. After the decision of the court, the matter has come to an end. BJP may try to take advantage of it in the 2024 general election once the temple construction is completed and then it may get some benefit from it, but in today’s situation this issue is not of much use to it. Perhaps this is the reason why BJP strategists did not field Yogi Adityanath from Ayodhya. Otherwise it would have centered her entire election strategy around it and she would have been vulnerable to the SP.
Therefore, under a very well thought out strategy, he has started surrounding the SP on the issue of security. It is surprising that even after the BJP is in power, the issue of security can go against the SP. Whereas in the Yogi Adityanath government, there have been Hathras, Agra, Gorakhpur scandals and Phaphamau-Lakhimpur Kheri incident which have been seen to make the BJP uncomfortable. But strict action against criminals is the result of Yogi Adityanath government’s policy that the issue of security is not going against them but it seems to be going against the SP. Even after not being in power, SP seems to be defensive on this issue.
However, when BJP is in opposition and it surrounds a government with the help of the issue of nationalism, then this issue seems to be more effective, but when it itself is in power, how much this issue has proved to be effective for it, it remains to be seen. We will know only after the election results are out.
what will be the strategy now
Since the elections are over in Uttarakhand and Punjab, the BJP leaders engaged in these areas are also vacant for the time being, who will probably now gather in full force in the regions of Awadh and Purvanchal and try to surround the SP. During this too, his hands will try to raise the issue of security and terrorism.
Many big issues before the farmers
National General Secretary of All India Kisan Mazdoor Sabha, Dr. Ashish Mittal told AnyTV that BJP will have to pay the price of saving the minister who oppressed farmers in this phase. The entire farming community is watching how false cases are being filed against the farmers, while the minister’s son, who killed four people, including three farmers, is roaming freely. He said that this is a big issue among the farmers.
The price issue of sugarcane crop is not limited to western UP alone. This is also a big issue in the region of Awadh-Purvanchal. In the month of January itself, farmers have made a big demonstration regarding sugarcane prices. Black marketing of urea and other fertilizers is happening. The entire crop of this region is based on irrigation, whereas in Uttar Pradesh, the cost of irrigation is highest, which increases the cost of agriculture for the farmers. The BJP has promised free electricity to the farmers if the government is formed, but before the elections began, the tubewells of the farmers were also being raided. This is the reason why farmers are skeptical of BJP’s promise as well.
Apart from these, the loss caused to agriculture due to stray animals is overshadowing the assistance being given to the farmers. Farmers say that it is better to leave them for stray animals than to leave them for stray animals by incurring huge costs in their fields. This can be a worrying thing for the government in the fourth phase.
fourth stage challenge
In the fourth phase, along with the seats of Uttar Pradesh’s capital Lucknow, Lakhimpur, Pilibhit, Unnao, Sitapur, Rae Bareli, Unchahar, Banda, Fatehpur, Khaga, Mohammadi, Gola Gokarnath, Hardoi, Sandila and Bhagwant Nagar will vote on February 23. It will cover 60 assembly constituencies in nine districts.
