BJP Fails on Ram Mandir Plank, Akhilesh Yadav’s SP Shines in UP Show with Rahul Gandhi in a Supporting Role

As counting advances for Lok Sabha political race results 2024, the BJP seems, by all accounts, to be experiencing amazing turns around in some Hindi heartland states, most essentially in Uttar Pradesh, which has been vital to its appointive predominance broadly starting around 2014.

In the politically pivotal province of Uttar Pradesh, which sends 80 MPs to the 543-part Lok Sabha, the BJP is secured in a dead-heat battle with Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party, which is essential for the resistance INDIA coalition.

At 3 p.m., the Samajwadi Party was driving in 37 seats, the BJP in 32, the Congress in seven, and the RLD in two. The SP and Congress are accomplices in the India coalition, while the BJP and Jayant Chaudhry’s RLD struck a partnership before the surveys.

Akhilesh Yadav’s performance missions and joint meetings with Rahul Gandhi appear to have gotten the job done, while the BJP’s Slam Mandir pitch following the initiation of the sanctuary in Ayodhya doesn’t appear to have chipped away at a constituent level.

The image is a distinct difference from the Lok Sabha political race brought about in 2014 and 2019, which assumed the most definitive part in carrying Narendra Modi to the Middle East.

2019 AND 2014 GENERAL DECISIONS
In the 2019 Lok Sabha surveys, the BJP had won 62 of the 80 seats in the state, while the BSP stood second at 10 seats. The Samajwadi Party dealt with a solitary digit count of five seats, while the Congress remained at a terrible one seat. In those days, the SP had aligned with Mayawati’s BSP.

The BJP surrendered some ground in the 2019 general political race when the resistance groups scratched their consolidated count to 16. Indeed, even with the ordinary enemy of incumbency worries at work, the saffron party had made a case for the state, winning 62 seats, supported further by two more won by its partner Apna Dal (Sonelal).

In 2019, the greatest seats—23—ffor the BJP came from the state’s western part, where the SP-BSP union could figure out how to win just four seats each.

The BSP won Saharanpur, Bijnor, Amroha, and Nagina (the SC seat) in the western UP, while the Samajwadi Party arose successful in Sambhal, Moradabad, Mainpuri (first held by Mulayam Singh Yadav, then by Dimple Yadav in a bypoll), and Rampur that year.

The focal locale of the state has the conspicuous parliamentary electorates of Amethi and Rae Bareli—bboth long-thought-about strongholds of the Congress.

In 2019, previous Congress president Sonia Gandhi held her Rae Bareli seat, while her child Rahul Gandhi lost the long-held Amethi voting demographic to the Association serving Smriti Irani.

The Bundelkhand area was cleared in 2019 by the BJP, which won each of the four Lok Sabha seats of Jhansi, Banda, Hamirpur, and Jalaun-SC.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha races, then-partners Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), Samajwadi Party (SP), and Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) made progress in the Muslim-ruled area of western Uttar Pradesh. Be that as it may, the political conditions have totally changed this time.

In the 2014 Lok Sabha races, the BJP and partners won 73 out of 80 Lok Sabha seats in the state.

2024 STORY Up until this point
The Samajwadi Party-Bahujan Samaj Party partnership in 2019 had offered protection from the BJP on a small bunch of seats in the western and eastern parts of UP, but neglected to have a major effect.

With BSP supremo Mayawati choosing to duke it out alone this time, it depended on the SP and Congress to stop the ravaging juggernaut of the NDA, which had RLD on its side this time, as well as various station-based provincial gatherings in the Poorvanchal locale.

In 2024, the BJP, other than its current partners Apna Dal (Sonelal) and NISHAD Party, battled the surveys alongside new accomplices of the NDA—RRashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) and Om Prakash Rajbhar-drove Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party.

Apparently the political race denoted a re-visitation of ordinary governmental issues, where electors were more worried about meat and potatoes issues, particularly in the Hindi heartland states, where the resistance India partnership figured out how to energize allies around the issues of joblessness and cost rise.

All alone, the Bharatiya Janata Party seemed, by all accounts, to be falling below the greater part mark with leads in 236 seats regardless of huge additions in Odisha, Telangana, and Kerala, giving comfort to the party after the startling misfortunes in the Hindi belt.

Its adversary INDIA coalition, fashioned together by their normal abhorrence for the BJP and its belief system, was driving in around 230 seats. In the last decision, the BJP had 303 seats all alone, while the NDA had more than 350.

The Congress party was driving in 99 seats as opposed to 52 it had won in 2019. In any case, the greater astonishment was the exhibition of its partner Samajwadi Party, which was driving in 34 seats in Uttar Pradesh. In the last races, it had won just five seats.

The coalition of SP and Congress reversed the situation for the BJP in its most grounded stronghold by guaranteeing a combination of hostile to BJP votes, restricting the party to leads in just 35 seats as against 62 it had won last time. Together, the SP-Congress partnership was ahead by 42 seats.

Rahul Gandhi was driving from Rae Bareli with 1.24 lakh votes, while Association Serve Smriti Irani of the BJP was following in Amethi by around 32,000 votes.

Modi was winning more than 60,000 votes in Varanasi. SP pioneer Akhilesh Yadav was driving by 52,000 votes in Kannauj.
