War for Thrones 2017 Election

 

The ‘Modi wave’ stormed Uttar Pradesh, pulverizing Akhilesh-led Samajwadi Party and Mayawati-headed BSP to mere debris. This spectacular performance by the saffron party left far behind its own record, created during the ‘Mandir wave’ in which the party had won more than 230 seats. Reports coming from the ground show that wherever the Prime Minister held the party’s rallies, it did very well, indicating clearly that his charisma loomed large over the overwhelming percentage of the population in the state. The reports clearly indicate that public has reposed faith in the leadership of Narendra Modi as the election was contested by the BJP on the basis of over two-and-half-year performance of the Modi-led government at the centre. Also, since the party had fielded no chief ministerial candidate in the election, votes were actually sought in the name of Narendra Modi, who had conducted 23 rallies across the state, besides holding three roadshows in Varanasi. - See more at: http://www.elections.in/blog/why-did-the-bjp-win-in-uttar-pradesh/#sthash.HcsOYpCX.dpuf

Assembly elections 2017 - Results from UP, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Manipur and Goa 

• Establishing its supremacy in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly Assembly elections 2017, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is all set to form the next government in the state. Riding on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s growing popularity, the BJP won whopping 312 seats in the 403-member Uttar Pradesh assembly, while the Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance is on the second position with 54 seats. Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has bagged 19 seats. Election officials said the BJP began taking strong leads right from the start of the counting and it became clear within an hour that it was set to comfortably take power in Uttar Pradesh.

  
  

  A euphoric Bharatiya Janata Party called it a “historic” verdict that would make a major impact on Indian politics even as the Congress admitted it was stunned by the scale of the verdict in favour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.While Samajwadi Party leader and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav promptly resigned, BSP leader Mayawati attributed the rout to the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) which she said were manipulated.

  
  

  In Uttar Pradesh, the BJP’s success rate enveloped both urban and rural areas and appeared to demolish traditional caste equations. BJP candidates won in all major cities including Lucknow, Allahabad, Kanpur and Varanasi, Modi’s Lok Sabha constituency. While the Congress fared not so badly in Rae Bareli, it took a drubbing in Amethi, Rahul Gandhi’s Lok Sabha seat.

Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections 2017 witnessed intense three way battle between the Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance, the BJP and Mayawati’s BSP. While the SP joined hand with Congress to regain power, the BJP and BSP are trying to wrest power after 15 and five years respectively. Uttar Pradesh Assembly poll is a crucial electoral battle for Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who is banking on his slogan of ‘Kaam Bolta Hai’ (work speaks), and his alliance partner Congress, which is in dire need of a political resurgence. The election is the first big test of PM Narendra Modi and his BJP after demonetisation drive. For Mayawati’s BSP, the election is like do or die as the party failed to win even a single seat in the 2014 Lok sabha polls. 

The seven phased Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections 2017 saw high-debacle poll campaign with politicians accusing each other for the backwardness of the state, law and order situation and communal divide. Be it use of words like Kasab, gadha (ass) or below the belt jibes against political opponents, politics hit new low during the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. While the BJP banked on the popularity of PM Narendra Modi, the SP-Congress alliance brought Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Dimple Yadav for campaigning, apart from Akhilesh and Rahul. CATCH – 

Ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly election results 2017, most of the exit polls predicted hung assembly with the BJP emerging closest to the threshold of 202 seats in the 403-seat assembly. Of the five exit polls by ABP-CSDS, Times Now-VMR, India TV-CVoter, India Today-Axis and MRC, only Axis suggested the BJP getting a clear majority with 265 seats. The rest predicted that the BJP would stay below the 200-mark. The Samajwadi Party-Congress combine is lagging far behind, exit polls forecast on Thursday. The BSP, which was being seen as the proverbial dark horse by a few political analysts, has been projected by all the exit polls as the distant third.

Factors behind BJP’s victory

If leadership of Modi was one factor behind the BJP’s win in Uttar Pradesh, there were several other reasons why the saffron party was catapulted to power in Lucknow. Forming an umbrella of caste group comprising upper castes, Vaishyas, non-Yadavs and non-Jatavs worked well for the party in the election. It was feared that demonetisation would go against the party. But to the chagrin of opponents, their campaign and public exhortation against Modi didn’t work and this is what victory of the BJP suggests. Rather, what the common people saw in demonetisation was an act against black money holders. The BJP had pitched high for development, apart from the promise of making Uttar Pradesh goonda-free and corruption-free state.
This won over youth, women, educated persons towards the party. Announcement of farmers getting their dues from sugar mills within 14-days of forming a BJP-led government in Uttar Pradesh also worked well for the party. Of them all, the BJP’s decision to give tickets to winnable candidates proved a well thought-out strategy. Learning lessons from its mistakes in Bihar, the saffron party offered tickets to candidates after assessing their chances. It denied tickets to some of its own sitting MLAs and in their places those who could ensure victory for the party were made to fight elections. However, this caused a huge resentment among party workers and those denied tickets became rebels. Still, the party took the risk and electoral dividends that accrued to it, have now proved that the risk was well worth taking. Besides, the central government’s ‘Ujala Yojna’, ‘Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana’ and ‘Digital India’ campaigns also got the people together.
