UP News: The assembly by-elections in Uttar Pradesh are being seen as the semi-finals of 2027. BJP’s performance in the Lok Sabha elections was disappointing due to which the party high command brainstormed a lot. To strengthen its credibility through by-elections, BJP once again played the tactic of Hindutva. Experts believe that the slogan given by Yogi Adityanath ‘Batoge to Katoge’ was an indication towards the unity of Hindus, whereas the Samajwadi Party is in full swing due to its performance in the Lok Sabha elections. In the by-elections, SP worked hard on the agenda of PDA and countered the slogan of ‘If you win, you will be cut’, it gave the slogan of ‘If you join, you will win’.
Actually, BSP is fighting to save its existence through this by-election. The fight in this by-election was being considered triangular but after the voting on 20th November, it is being said that this fight has become straight SP vs BJP.
Strategy of SP and BJP and 2027 elections
Now everyone’s eyes are fixed on what will be the score between BJP and SP in the nine by-election seats.

This score can also have a huge impact on the strategy of SP and BJP in 2027. Strategists say that this by-election was being considered as the first semi-final of 2027, so it has to be seen whether CM Yogi Adityanath’s strategy of polarizing Hindutva votes based on the slogan of ‘If we divide, we will cut’ was effective or whether Akhilesh will achieve PDA with the help of caste equations. Was successful in.
Meanwhile, on the day of voting, SP and BJP made fierce allegations against each other. At many places, there were allegations of preventing voters from exercising their franchise, while sporadic clashes were also reported from some places.
Meanwhile, National General Secretary of Samajwadi Party Shivpal Yadav has accused of rigging in the by-elections. SP leader Shivpal Yadav said that BJP has full majority government in the state. Even after this, the way the ruling party rigged the by-elections, there was no need for it. However, despite the blatant rigging by BJP, SP will win five to six seats. Ram Gopal Yadav has made allegations and demanded cancellation of voting and re-polling under the supervision of paramilitary forces.
Uttar Pradesh by-election
Many big questions were raised regarding this by-election. The question was also whether elections would now be won through politics of caste and religion.

While Samajwadi Party talked about backward Dalits and minorities, Bharatiya Janata Party stuck to its stance of being an agent of Hindutva. Now counting of votes will take place on 23rd November, after which the situation will become clear as to which party is winning how many seats in this election?
