Lucknow, April 2 (). The game has started, but the players and locations are unchanged. In the country’s largest state Uttar Pradesh, the opposition is suddenly looking cautious about the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The main reason for this is the ruling coalition being overconfident and equipped with pro-people issues, while the opposition lacks both.
BJP, Bulldozers and Baba (Yogi Adityanath) dominate the political horizon of Uttar Pradesh. Unless there is a major change, it is not difficult to predict the results of the Lok Sabha elections.
A BJP leader said, what is the fun in fighting if there is no opposition?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has started the party’s election campaign this week.
Bulldozer politics in Uttar Pradesh has already troubled the Samajwadi Party and the Congress.
In the 2022 assembly elections, the Samajwadi Party used bulldozers to hit back at the BJP in its election campaign and Akhilesh Yadav in his every speech presented bulldozers as an example of the dictatorship of the BJP leadership.
The SP leaders also drew comparisons between the bulldozers and the excesses of the Emergency, but the ploy did not work. In fact, it did reverse damage to the Samajwadi Party.
Voters have stamped the politics of bulldozers.
After the elections, the SP leaders have almost stopped talking about bulldozers and have started talking about crime and poor law and order to target the Yogi Adityanath government.
A senior SP spokesperson said, BJP knows the art of giving communal color to all its illegal works. They have turned the bulldozer into a symbol of Hindu pride that crushes non-Hindus. Encounters are being used followed by bulldozers. Why are the victims of bulldozers and police encounters not Hindus? Is there not a single Hindu who has done wrong?
Anyone who opposes the ruling party is immediately labeled as anti-Hindu, he said. We have no option but to remain silent till people realize the truth.
The SP has already burnt its fingers on the issue of Ramcharitmanas. SP MLC Swami Prasad Maurya tried to give a casteist twist to the verses of the epic, but the BJP effectively managed to backtrack on the SP by giving the matter a communal colour.
The issue of caste census raised by SP has also faded away.
Akhilesh Yadav said, BJP has mastered the art of giving Hindu-Muslim color to everything, whether it is driving a bulldozer or carrying a crane. They claim to have copyright on Hindutva and it is now for the people to see.
Meanwhile, Congress is wandering in wonderland. The party remains completely leaderless and directionless in Uttar Pradesh.
Former Congress MLC Deepak Singh talks about the charisma of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and the popularity of Rahul Gandhi. He says, Congress will make a remarkable comeback in 2024. The situation at the ground level is changing fast and the party will give surprising results in UP.
A senior party functionary, however, said, “If our leaders do not define a clear line on the issue, what can we do.” The party president is not concerned about Uttar Pradesh, while Rahul Gandhi does not want to touch the state as his sister Priyanka is in charge and Priyanka has not stepped here for a year, as a result, we have also stopped talking about election related issues Is done.
On the other hand, the Bahujan Samaj Party is wary of cornering the BJP. The party is only focusing on bringing its workers back together and the party workers are also confused as to what stand the BSP will take next year.
With opposition parties clearly wary of targeting the BJP, bulldozers and baba, the saffron color is set to deepen in the coming months.
