The results of Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections 2022 have once again made it clear that neither the ‘Modi magic’ has diminished among the voters nor has any effect on the wave. Yes, in the meantime, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath definitely emerged as a symbol of the politics of development. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also put his stamp on the increased public confidence in Yogi by giving a slogan like ‘Yogi for UP is useful’ in the public meeting.
Despite the fierce vortex of the Corona epidemic, the efforts of opponents to take the anti-agricultural law movement from village to village, and opposition solidarity, Yogi confidently steered the helm of ‘good governance’ and after 37 years created a history of continuous return of full majority government in UP. inserted. Even after a lot of beatings, the SP could reach the middle only against the absolute majority that the BJP got, while the BSP and the Congress seemed to be completely immersed in this power struggle by taking a dive. At the same time, the Aam Aadmi Party, which formed the government of full majority in Punjab, could not even open an account here. More than three decades later, it was becoming a myth for Uttar Pradesh that no party could form the government for two consecutive terms and the chief minister’s government going to Noida would go away. For example, the reversals in the last three assembly elections only reinforced this myth. When the BSP’s throne, which formed an absolute majority government in 2007, was overturned in 2012, the SP’s majority government collapsed in the Modi wave of 2017.
Undoubtedly, for the BJP, the mountain of challenges in this election was far higher. In 2017, the anti-incumbency wave against the then SP government further strengthened the momentum of the Modi wave, but in this election the threat of an anti-incumbency wave was with the BJP. Here, thousands of people died in the global pandemic Corona, the public had to face all the crises including the lockdown. The opposition was united and engaged in the siege of the government. He was looking for an opportunity to make a box for the government in this calamity, while the Yogi government and the BJP organization fueled the issue by running a Seva Hi Sangathan campaign.
Delivered medicines and rations to the poor in distress. Its direct effect is visible on the results. It is believed that the vote of poor Dalits, which has been giving strength to the BSP in the state, has turned towards the BJP. In this election being called challenging, BJP was confident of forming back the government with full majority, while SP chief Akhilesh Yadav was confident of his coronation.
However, the victory chariot of the BJP double-engined on Thursday morning on the track of expectations from the postal ballot and then the vote counting in the EVMs, then it gained momentum with the heat and ‘Shimla’s snow’ on the dreams of the opposition. The ‘bulldozer’ of Yogi, who came out of the booth-booth, blew up the cycle with an absolute majority by the time the final results came. Made the elephant breathless and returned empty-handed Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the only hope of Congress from the corridors of power, to sweep away the dreams of the Aam Aadmi Party.
