Revolutionary Elections

Assembly Elections 2022 of Uttar Pradesh State have been indicating from the first phase in Wester part of the State that people are going to vote against BJP which got a massive victory in 2017 Elections under bluffs of Union Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After victory, Modi imposed Adityanath (so called Yogi) as Chief Minister of U.P. During his tenure in UP in the last five years, Yogi kept himself busy in three things -

1. Harming and killing Muslims in the State to establish in UP a Hindu kingdom without any democratic norm. Courts of the country have been very critical of this government but with no effect on Yogi. Muslims were never respected citizens of the country during this tenure. Though it is well known that in-spite of low education and general poverty, Muslims help in running homes and industries through their technical skills. 

2. Without doing any development work in the State, Yogi concentrated promoting Hindu religious traditions like annual Kaanvad Yaatraas, prayers to rivers like Ganges, construction of massive temples etc for bringing in a religious fervor in people of the state. With respect to development, an example is worth notice. A flyover was constructed by the government in Varanasi that collapsed during final stage of construction. Yogi government filed an FIR against an unknown contractor for the collapse. 

The religious bent of mind could have worked on the minds of people but for their own economic miseries brought in by the Central Government of Modi through creating massive unemployment and spirally rising prices. When survival of the self and the family is at stake, no religious fervor comes in the minds of people. 

Only one community of traders, called Vaishya, has been an exception due to their low level money-oriented lives. Lowly educated and busy in their shops have no time or intellect to think of the Society and the Nation. Except the intellectuals in the community, everyone is a Muslim hater, hence like Modi and Yogi governments. But unfortunately for BJP, the community members keep so busy that many find no time even for voting.     

3. Yogi is a so-called hermit coming from traditionally arrogant community, called Kshatriya or Thakur. As a hermit, he has no idea of how families survive hence has no business in politics seeking political power over people. As an arrogant and autocrat, he outshined by his statements and actions against common people, with utmost care for promoting his own community of Thakurs. 

Community of Brahmans has been the dominating community in Hinduism since pronouncement of Sanatan Dharm in the country by Asur junta during Vedic period. This community got angered by actions of Yogi for domination of Thakur community.

4. Farmers agitated against Modi government for about 15 months staying on Delhi borders for repeal of 3 laws on farming enacted by Modi government. In these protests, Modi government did every possible harassment, including water sprays during winter season, embedding steel nails on the roads around the protest sites, etc, of protesting farmers. In this process, over 700 farmers lost their lives but no ruling person ever felt accountability with regular pronouncements of keeping and implementing the farm laws. Elections arrived when the selfish Modi government repealed the 3 farm laws. This experience of farmers has its dark shadow over elections in five states including those in UP. This way, Yogi reaped the thorns sowed by Modi. Farmers and their sympathisers, in general, oppose BJP.

5. Another important issue related to farming raising its head in the elections has been of stray cattle in the state damaging crops in agricultural field on which farmers survive. This problem has been a creation of Yogi in the name of saving cows in the state. It was Yogi government that imposed a ban on transporting and selling cow breeds. Since the breeds lost their marketability, farmers stopped keeping cow breeds compounding problem of stray cattle.

Before Yogi government, some cows were kept by farmers under their care, some were kept by milk producers, while others used to be slaughtered for flesh mainly for exports. Incidentally, flesh export in the country is dominated by BJP supporters. Cow slaughter was banned in the country for a long-long time for religious sentiments of people.

Under these background shadows, UP State Assembly elections arrived with two principal political parties/alignments against BJP – Indian National Congress under Priyanka Gandhi in the state and Samajwadi Party-Lokdal alignment under Akhilesh Yadav.

After 1975, with Indira Gandhi as the Prime Minister, Congress contracted itself to be a family party instead of people of the nation that it has been during freedom struggle and also under Jawahar Lal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India. Priyanka Gandhi is the aspirant for Chief Minister of UP, her brother Rahul Gandhi is the Congress candidate for the next Prime Ministers position, while thei mother is the Congress President. Though at the national level, Congress is the only party to replace BJP, the state politics runs differently. With domination of caste factor in the State of UP, Akhilesh Yadav came up as the most important power player against Yogi with support from Muslims.

Since BJP has nothing to show positive for the people with so many negativities, it injected huge capital and workforce in the state to win votes through purchases and making a grand show by paid agents of BJP mainly from RSS. It seems that vote-purchase strategy of BJP is not very effective for silence of such voters in the face of extrovertly spirited voters in the opposition.

This election in UP is not only that of the state, but is going to determine the future of Modi during Parliamentary Elections in 2024. Hence, bad days of India are close to the ends.
