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.
