All is well for BJP in UP! Municipal election results strengthened ‘Mission 80’

The BJP has registered a historic victory in the UP civic elections. On the one hand, the state of South gave it a crushing defeat, forced it to introspect, while on the other hand, Uttar Pradesh has also given it a sigh of relief. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, BJP has prepared a plan to get 80 seats from UP. That plan can be successful only when the party gets the votes of Muslims as well. Now the results of civic elections show that the party has passed in this department. This time he had bet on fielding a Muslim candidate, he has brought Ranga.

Muslims like BJP’s support in UP!

In this election, BJP fielded 395 Muslim candidates. In this, six candidates were in the fray for the post of president in 32 Nagar Panchayats in the Municipality. The rest of the candidates were trying their luck as corporators. Now this trend has been seen for the first time that BJP has won big in Municipal Corporations like Meerut, Moradabad and Bareilly. Muslim votes play a decisive role in all these seats, SP also has a strong presence here. But this time the BJP has changed all the equations on the ground by making a clean sweep in these municipal corporations. Its candidates have won in many districts including Saharanpur, Bijnor, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli, Gorakhpur, Jaunpur, Lucknow.

In some seats, the BSP has been second, which means that the Muslim vote has gone to Mayawati’s party. In such a situation, the results of the civic elections are not encouraging for the Samajwadi Party in any way. On the other hand, the feedback of the BJP’s bet on winning the hearts of Pasmanda Muslims is quite positive. If this trend continues further, in that case BJP can be of tremendous advantage in UP. In Western UP, it can bring more relief for the party.

BSP spoiled the game of SP, even it could not do wonders

By the way, Bahujan Samaj Party is also a major reason for BJP’s victory in Muslim majority seats. In this election, BMC tried a new kind of social engineering by fielding 64 percent Muslim candidates. At the same time, both Congress and SP had given a chance to 23-23 percent Muslim candidates. But the results show that the BSP’s own performance was not only disappointing, but because of it, Muslim votes got divided in many seats. This division itself has directly benefited BJP on many seats. It is believed that this is the reason why BJP won many seats like Moradabad, Aligarh, Meerut.

Double engine failure in Karnataka, triple power in UP

Now BJP has not only won 17 mayors, it has also formed a triple engine government in Uttar Pradesh for the first time. This is because BJP in the center, BJP in the state and now BJP with full majority in Municipal Corporation also. In such a situation, the double engine has now been converted into a triple engine. The big thing is that the issues on which the BJP had to face a crushing defeat in Karnataka, the same issues have fed the BJP’s lotus well in UP. In fact, nationalism dominated the civic body elections in UP, the action taken on the mafia became the subject of discussion and religious issues also created an atmosphere. That is, Bajrang Bali could not win the BJP in Karnataka, but the construction of the Kashi Vishwanath Dham Corridor in Varanasi and the dream of such a project in Mathura got a lot of votes.

Another trend that makes sense is the mood of the urban voter. Many urban seats are going to be held in the Lok Sabha elections, in such a situation, the results of the civic elections have told the atmosphere in favor of the BJP. The way the BJP had expressed confidence in the upper castes in this election, its benefits are also clearly visible in the results. In such a situation, there is good news for BJP from every department, concern has increased for Akhilesh Yadav as he has faced another crushing defeat after the assembly elections. In such a situation, now everyone’s eyes will be on how he manages the equation for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
