‘BJP Can’t Treat Rajput Voters As Their Pet Dog, Not Any More’

By LokMarg

Thakur Puran Singh, a farmer leader who has been spearheading the Kshatriya rebellion against the BJP in Uttar Pradesh, says Rajputs cannot be taken for granted. His view:

The Kshatriya community had been a traditional voter of the Bharatiya Janata Party for long, but the party has started mistaking us as their pet dog; the treatment they have given us suggests so. Therefore this is the time for the community to be united and demand for their rights. While many heavyweight leaders of the community like Rajnath Singh, CM Yogi Adityanath and others are being sent to pacify our anger, no action on ground has been taken by the party. Replacing General (retd) VK Singh (a Kshatriya/Rajput) with AK Garg (a Bainya) in Rajput dominant Ghaziabad was just a trigger, the pot had been simmering since long.

Party leaders like Noida MP Mahesh Sharma, Kairana MP Pradeep Chaudhary (a Gujjar) and many others have been openly involved in distortion of Kshatriya history with attributing Samrat Mihir Bhoj, the great ninth century Kshatriiya ruler as a Gujjar, Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, the last king of Delhi as a Gujjar, Maharana Pratap as a Gujjar, Delhi’s founder Anangpal Tomar as a Jat, Rana Punja, a Solanki Rajput commander of Maharana Pratap, as a Bhil and Suheldev, a Bais Rajput king as a Rajbhar.

The derogatory statement of BJP minister and Rajkot candidate Parsottam Ruapala against the Kshatriya women is part of the anti-Kshatriya doctrine of the BJP and RSS. While they routinely abuse 15th century Jaipur ruler Man Singh to shame Rajputs, they have completely whitewashed the Maratha-Peshwa alliance with Mughal ruler Aurangzeb. To abuse the Rajputs on social media, the IT cell of the party has come up with a term ‘Mughalput‘, in spite of the fact that it was the Kshatriya kings who were the first line of defence against invaders for hundreds of years. The alliance of other community rulers are termed tactics, while we are straightforward termed as traitors despite of maximum number of sacrifices since time immemorial and highest number of Paramveer Chakras for the country in modern times.

The anti-Rajput doctrine confines the community to the great Maharana Pratap while continuing to abuse the dissenters as Jaichand. The fact is Jaichandra Gahrwar had nothing to do with Muhammad Ghori;s invasion, they have picked it up from Prithiraj Raso, which is a fictional literature and not a historical fact. Jaichandra was a great king who died fighting for his people and in fact had laden the erstwhile Ram Mandir with gold.

While home minister Amit Shah talks ill about Raja Man Singh, he ignores the last fact that the Peshwas had attacked Mewar to seek tax but were beaten back. The selective approach to demean and dehumanize Rajputs have reached the peak, its time to strike back with the power
of vote.

The Kshatriyas have been considered a traditional voter of the BJP, But gradually they have understood that they are rather being used as a Labrador, who only wags its tail and doesn’t even bark. The party has reduced our representation in Loksabha across the country with zero tickets in Gujarat and Jharkhand, a couple of tickets in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, the areas where we have a substantial vote share. They have reduced our representation from 18-20 seats in UP to eight tickets. In west UP, where our population is over 10 per cent, we are the single largest voters after Muslims and Dalits. They have given just one ticket to the community in the area while appeasing Jat and Gujjar communities, who have far lesser representation in the state with a number of tickets in parliamentary and assembly elections as well as Rajya Sabha.

The BJP has snatched the future of Rajput youth, who predominantly choose to join the army by bringing Agnipath scheme. While the number of those who want to join the army dwindled due to the four-year clause bringing uncertainty to their future, the warrior culture of the community has been badly affected. There are villages of Rajputs like Gahmar in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, Satha Chaurasi (literal meaning 60 and 84 villages) of Rajputs spread across Noida, Ghaziabad, Hapur and Bulandshahar are known are the army factory of the country with maximum number of soldiers and officers joining from these areas. The party has snatched the livelihood of the warrior farming community.

The government has also refused relaxation in EWS quota, where Rajputs are the least selected community due to the land and house clause. Being a farming community, the Rajputs have joint families in villages with some farming land and that is why they are refused the EWS benefit. These are the key reasons behind the Rajput rebellion. We want our dignity back, our history back, our jobs and equal representation.

BJP Will Get Record Seats From South

BJP Will Spring A Surprise With Record Seats, Especially From South

By LokMarg

Rakesh Tripathi, spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), claims that the party will easily achieve its target of 400-plus seats with astonishing results from southern states. His Views:

In the last elections (2019), the BJP in Uttar Pradesh won 64 seats (as against 71 in 2014) despite the Samajwadi Party and BSP coming together. This time, we are not only going to achieve better results than 2014, thanks to our additional efforts and Modi-Yogi magic. Likewise, we are not only going to sustain our strength in the states where we have a dominant presence, like Rajasthan, Haryana, MP, Uttarakhand etc., we shall improve in states like West Bengal, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana etc.

Thanks to the tedious efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and our motto of delivering what we promise, our results in the southern states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala will surprise our detractors. In this context, I would like to point out the commitment and the ‘thirst’ with which, for example, our Tamil Nadu state president K Annamalai is working 24×7. Besides being young and vibrant with the sole aim to serve the people and the country, he has been in politics for less than four years and he is already a youth icon, who has rattled the Dravidian ecosystem and established BJP as the primary anti-DMK force in the South.

Similarly, the chief minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sharma, is working effortlessly in the northeast along with others and BJP will definitely improve its figures in that region too.

The BJP delivers what it promises. Take for example, the abrogation of Article 370, the Ram Temple, triple talaq, NRC, etc. Whatever we promised in 2014 and 2019, most have been delivered and the others are in the pipeline. This time, our manifesto, which has been prepared after immense review, discussions and ideas (from grassroots level workers), has promises that we can deliver and we will deliver. Like our PM says, our vision is not 2029 but we have 2047 on our target when India will be a developed and a self-reliant country.

ALSO READ: Rahul Gandhi Is At The Last Chance Saloon

The promises made by other opposition parties in their manifesto are not more than a bunch of lies and claims which border on the weird. Take for example Rahul Gandhi’s promise of equal distribution of wealth among Indians. His `Khata khat, Khata Khat, Khata Khat idhar se udhar (from the bank accounts of the rich to the poor) is similar to his `Idhar se aloo, udhar se sona’ claim. Likewise, his wiser RJD counterpart, Tejashwi Yadav is promising Old Pension Scheme, Rs 1 lakh annually to women of poor households, discontinuing Agniveer, MSP on more crops, and other tall claims.

The Opposition is not able to find suitable candidates to contest elections against us in many states. It is evident from the ever-changing candidates and seats where no one is willing to contest. Take for example the revelations of ex-Congressman Prof Gaurav Vallabh who is now with BJP. He says that all Congressmen are advised/directed to target wealth creators and Sanatan Dharma.

A majority of Congress leaders and workers are not willing to contest elections and a stark example is that out of the 100 Congress Working Committee members, only three are contesting elections. Take for instance the seats of Rae Bareli and Amethi in Uttar Pradesh. Once the two seats were Congress pocket borough; today the party is still undecided who to field from the two constituencies.

NDA Has Put India on World Map

Even As A First-Time Voter, I Can See NDA Has Put India on World Map

By LokMarg

Aditya Prakash Goel, a BCom Hons student from Sardhana, says he is excited about casting his vote for the first time and he would want NDA to return to power. His views:

This is my first experience as a voter and I am happy to be a part of the democratic exercise in this Lok Sabha elections. It feels like I am a citizen of a representative state and my vote can make a positive difference.

I believe the nation has not just changed under the current NDA rule but a new chapter of remarkable growth and fast paced development is also being written. India has showcased itself as a trend setter in the last few years. The nation has moved from the politics of hooliganism, corruption and appeasement to the politics of development, growth, unity and nationalism.

This remarkable journey has strengthened democracy in its real sense by empowering the marginalised sections of the society – from the unprivileged to underprivileged, the women and the youth. It also has been a journey of changing the Indian thought process from nothing is impossible in this country to everything is possible if the government and the people have the will and commitment to bring about a change.

The NDA rule has emphasised the motto of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas Sabka Vishwas.

Various initiatives have been taken up by the government in the last few years that have contributed to the development of the country showcasing it globally. Some of the initiatives that show the country has progressed and stepped towards change are:

The power of JAM, Jan Dhan Yojna, Aadhar and Mobile. This trinity aims at maximizing the value of every rupee spent, empower the poor, increase technology penetration among the masses, and implement direct subsidy transfers to the poor. The government intends to use these three modes of identification to revolutionize financial inclusion in India.

The digital India initiative aims at transforming the country into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy, bridging the gap between the urban and the rural areas. The government has truly made tremendous efforts in the making of digital India making transactions cashless.

Make in India initiative has given a rapid boost to manufacturing. It facilitates investment, fosters innovations, enhances skill development and builds the best manufacturing infrastructures. It is an effort to boost the country’s entrepreneurial energy.

The skill India mission has been initiated to create convergence across sectors and states in terms of skill training activities and promoting handwork and cultural background of the country.

Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana is a rural development programme focusing on development in villages which includes social and cultural development and motivating people towards social mobilization of the village community.

Then there is Namami Gange to arrest the pollution of the Ganga, Pradhanmantri Ujjwala Yojana providing smoke free kitchens by providing LPG connectivity to the beneficiaries, 35 crore Jandhan accounts have been opened as part of Pradhanmantri Jandhan Yojana, nearly 18,000 villages have been electrified and schemes like PM Kisan Samman Nidhi to boost agriculture.

The government has sought to create infrastructure in terms of roads and railways through highways and trains and schemes like UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) have sought to boost connectivity.

During the pandemic, the country emerged as one of the largest vaccine producing hub on the global scenario. In the last few years India has emerged as a significant economic and geo political power on the world map.

Political Violence in Bengal Elections is Disheartening

Use of Political Violence in Bengal Elections is Disheartening

By LokMarg

Ramit Chattopadhyay, a Geography Honours student in St. Xavier’s College, Burdwan, says the continuing degradation of our independent institutions is a legitimate concern. His views:

Mainstream politics in West Bengal is inherently secular. With a demographic character as varied as West Bengal’s, there is no other way to win the hearts of Bengalis other than by adhering to secularism. The state has been an age-old hub of liberalism and progressive ideas, and the contemporary era is no different. Therefore, undoubtedly, my firm belief is that the polity in the state will stick to a secular ethos in the 2024 parliamentary elections.

As a student, and an avid follower and observer of politics, I am a little disappointed by the repeated use of violence as a political tool in Bengal’s elections. The very fact that hundreds of companies of central security forces have been deputed in the state for the 2024 general elections does not portray a good image about the state’s political scenario. However, I am hopeful about Bengal’s future. With proper and democratic participation of all stakeholders, politics here can once again regain an aura of fairness and harmony.

ALSO READ: ‘India has Progressed but Suppression of Dissent Worries Me’

Indeed, I don’t feel that 2024 is a battle between a secular democratic, and a quasi-dictatorial front. In India, it’s very difficult to ignore any section of the electorate. No government can cater exclusively to the needs of any one select community, or interest group, while ignoring the others. As for dictatorial tendencies, I feel that the continuing degradation of the country’s independent institutions is a legitimate concern. There is a need to have proper checks and balances that prevents any government from meddling into the affairs of independent institutions.

Ramit feels the seven-phase spreadout in Bengal election is justified

About the seven-phase parliamentary election in Bengal, to many it may seem like an unnecessarily long process. However, given the massive size of the Bengali electorate, and past reputation of violence in elections here, the seven-phase polling is quite justified, in order to properly manage a free and fair election. That being said, necessary steps should also be taken by the election conducting authorities, the Election Commission especially, to have Heat Action Plans (HAPs), so that voters do not have to suffer the brunt of India’s unforgiving summer heat.

Bengaluru Water Crisis

‘Bengaluru Water Crisis is an Ominous Prospect For Other Metro Cities’

By LokMarg

Vasudha Vasudev, a senior associate consultant in Infosys, Bengaluru, says the city’s crisis highlights broader issues of urban planning and sustainable resource management. Her views:

Living in Bengaluru has not only been about work but also about coping with the city’s various civic crises, water scarcity being the latest one. Over the past few months, this crisis has become more than just a concern – it is a daily in-you-face reality that impacts every facet of urban life.

Earlier, when I lived in a high-rise apartment, the situation was somewhat manageable. Our society would arrange for water tankers, and the costs were absorbed as part of our maintenance fees. However, since moving to a rented house, I have had a firsthand experience of the escalating water scarcity. Landlords now inquire about the number of occupants to gauge water usage, and this additional cost burdens both tenants and owners alike, straining our already tight budget.

The root cause of Bengaluru’s water woes lies in its unplanned urban expansion. Unlike cities built to accommodate the current population, Bengaluru’s infrastructure has been struggling to keep pace with its rapid expansion. Historically, the city relied on small water bodies and ridges that were sufficient for a smaller populace. However, its unique aquifer system now poses significant challenges.

Bengaluru’s aquifers are rocky and have limited storage capacity. While they can recharge quickly after rainfall, they deplete just as swiftly during dry spells. This contrasts sharply with North India’s aquifers, which boast greater water retention capabilities. Consequently, Bengaluru’s groundwater reserves cannot sustain prolonged periods of water stress.

ALSO READ: ‘I Am A Climate Refugee, Forced To Live In Bengaluru’

The city’s predicament is a stark warning for other urban centers across India. As cities expand without proper planning, they strain existing water resources beyond capacity. Bengaluru’s experience underscores the urgent need for sustainable water management strategies in burgeoning cities.

To address this crisis, policymakers must prioritize holistic solutions. Investing in rainwater harvesting systems, promoting water conservation practices, and incentivizing sustainable urban development are crucial steps. Furthermore, authorities must engage with communities to raise awareness about water conservation and encourage responsible water use.

As individuals, we can contribute by adopting water-saving habits in our daily lives. Simple actions such as fixing leaks, using water-efficient appliances, and minimizing wastage can collectively make a significant impact.

The implications of Bengaluru’s water crisis extend beyond immediate inconvenience. It highlights broader issues of urban planning, resource management, and environmental sustainability. Unless proactive measures are taken, other Indian cities could find themselves in similar predicaments.

For those of us living and working in Bengaluru, this crisis is a call to action. It’s a reminder that we must act collectively to preserve our precious water resources and build resilient cities for the future. Through concerted efforts and a shared commitment to sustainability, we can mitigate the water crisis and pave the way for a more water-secure India.
Bengaluru’s water crisis is not just a local issue—it’s a wake-up call for the entire nation. Let’s heed this warning and work towards a more sustainable and water-resilient future for all.

‘Kejriwal’s Arrest Is An Attack On Indian Democracy’

By LokMarg

Rani Rajput, a journalism student at Jagran Institute of Management and Mass Communication (JIMMC) in Noida, says Kejriwal’s arrest raises questions on ED impartiality. Her views:

My initial reaction to the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal and the ED (enforcement directorate) raids targeting opposition leaders was one of deep concern, while holding the commitment to objective and impartial scrutiny. This act of the BJP government clearly shows that they want to bring a certain kind of dictatorship in the country, since there is no evidence to show that the elected Delhi chief minister is guilty. These events raise questions about the impartiality of the law enforcement agencies, and the potential misuse of power for political purposes.

It is the same scenario with Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia who is languishing in prison for over a year; even while the question remains about any solid evidence to prove the charges against him. If they are involved in money laundering, then show us where the money has gone? There is no money trail established thus far.

Indeed, we cannot keep anyone in jail like this merely on accusation and suspicion. Additionally, it’s crucial to uphold journalistic principles of transparency, accountability and the protection of freedom of expression, especially in an environment where political tensions are high. Hence, reporting about these sensitive cases should be based on unbiased, balanced, and evidence-based objectivity.

India is a democracy. Such acts reflect the characteristics of brazen dictatorial tendencies. We can clearly see that the current ruling party at the Centre does not want to give up their power at any cost. The arrest of opposition leaders and targeted raids by central agencies in the weeks leading up to the Lok Sabha polls, and earlier, can send a message signifying the suppression of dissent and the absolute dominance of those in power. In a democracy, there must be free and fair elections, transparency and rule of law must be followed. With these methods to suppress the opposition, it erodes trust in the democratic process and can lead to disillusionment among the citizens.

ALSO READ: ‘India Has Progressed But Suppression of Dissent Worries Me’

Besides, as a citizen of Delhi, I think Kejriwal and his government has done good work for the people of Delhi since they have focused on the basic needs of common citizens. More so, everyone’s needs cannot be fulfilled just by building temples! The initiatives, such as providing free water and subsidized electricity, have been widely praised for their direct and positive impact on the lives of citizens, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. These policies have helped alleviate the financial burden on low income households.

Similarly, in the education sector, the government’s investment in public schools, including infrastructure upgrades and teachers’-training, has led to enhanced educational outcomes and higher excellence in primary and secondary education for thousands of students, mostly coming from humble backgrounds. Additionally, initiatives such as mohalla clinics have expanded access to healthcare services for ordinary citizens.

However, it’s also important to consider the challenges and criticisms faced by the Delhi government.  Some critics argue that the government’s policies may not be sustainable in the long-term. However, overall, Kejriwal’s government’s performance in Delhi depends on various factors, including their social welfare priorities and perspectives. Certainly, as a journalism student, it’s important to critically analyse, both the successes and the shortcomings of government policies.

India Has Made Progress But Suppression of Dissent Worries Me

‘India Has Made Progress But Suppression of Dissent Worries Me’

By LokMarg

Shruti Mishra (20), a first-time voter pursuing dental surgery at Santosh Medical College, says India’s remarkable development has come at the cost of democratic values. Her views:

As I stand on the threshold of casting my vote for the very first time, a whirlwind of emotions engulfs me. It’s a blend of excitement, responsibility, and a tinge of apprehension. In the political landscape of 2024, I find myself grappling with the complex reality of our nation’s democracy.

Reflecting on the past decade, the tenure of the Modi government has been nothing short of eventful. I can’t help but acknowledge the strides India has made on the global stage under their leadership. Economic reforms, infrastructural development, and initiatives like ‘Make in India’ have positioned our country as a force to reckon with. However, beneath this facade of progress lies a troubling undercurrent that leaves me deeply unsettled.

The systematic dismantling of opposition parties raises concerns about the very essence of democracy. While a strong government is essential for stability and progress, a healthy democracy thrives on the existence of a robust opposition. The suppression of dissenting voices and the erosion of democratic institutions are ominous signs that cannot be ignored. As a young voter, I fear that unchecked power could lead us down a path where democracy becomes nothing but a hollow shell.

Moreover, the neglect of the middle class is a glaring issue that remains unaddressed by successive governments, be it the BJP or the Congress. While policies are crafted and rhetoric is spun to appease the masses, the backbone of our nation—the middle class—is often left in the lurch. Struggling with inflation, stagnant wages, and crumbling infrastructure, the middle class bears the brunt of policy failures and political apathy. 

ALSO READ: ‘I Have Little Faith In Electoral Democracy’

Yes, India may have soared to new heights on the global stage, but it’s imperative that we don’t lose sight of the ground realities. A nation’s progress should be measured not just by its GDP growth or international alliances but by the well-being and prosperity of its citizens, especially the middle class—the engine of our economy.

Mishra (right) yearns for a more inclusive, transparent system of governance

As I prepare to exercise my democratic right, I yearn for a political landscape that prioritizes inclusivity, transparency, and accountability. I long to see leaders who listen to the voices of the people, who uphold the principles of democracy rather than subverting them for personal gain. It’s not about blindly supporting a party or an individual; it’s about holding those in power accountable and demanding better for our nation and its people. 

In the run-up to the elections, I hope to see genuine efforts to address the concerns of the middle class, to foster a healthy democratic environment where dissent is valued, not suppressed. It’s time for leaders to rise above petty politics and work towards building a nation where every citizen—regardless of their background or socio-economic status—can thrive. 

As I step into the polling booth, I carry with me the hopes and aspirations of a generation longing for change. My vote is not just a mark on a ballot; it’s a beacon of hope, a declaration of my commitment to shaping the future of my country. And in this pivotal moment, I choose to believe in the power of democracy, in the belief that together, we can forge a better tomorrow for India and its people.

All Parties Will Try to Reap Electoral Gains From Ansari’s Death

By LokMarg

Sanjay Srivastava, an advocate in the Poorvanchal region, says while BJP will use Ansari’s death to bolster its anti-Mafia claim, others will raise questions on his untimely death. His views:

Mukhtar enjoyed immense popularity in a particular community of eastern Uttar Pradesh along with a good number of followers and admirers amongst other (communities) as well. His death will definitely send a wave of sympathy among his followers, while others who feared his strong-arm tactics breathe a sigh of relief. Political parties, indeed, will try to use his death and its circumstance to their electoral advantage, even though it will only have a very limited impact

The BJP which has been boasting about its crackdown on the mafia as its biggest achievement, will use it to bolster its ‘Mitti me Mafia’ slogan. For, the ruling party is aware of the attempts by other political parties to polarize the elections by raising the issue of Mukhtar’s death and seeking votes by empathising with his supporters. BJP will now be more vocal among the voters on the issue in its election campaign.

It is also clearly visible (since Mukhtar’s death) that the opposition parties have started making all efforts to polarize votes into their accounts. SP was the first to express condolences on the social media raising questions on the intent of the state government machinery in the matter followed by BSP supremo Mayawati, who went a step ahead demanding a high-level investigation into the cause of death!

SBSP chief Om Prakash Rajbhar was also not left behind when he declared Mukhtar a `Gareebon Ka Masiha’, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi also encashed the opportunity by visiting the bereaved family at their home town in Ghazipur. However, on the accusation of Mukhtar’s family of him being given poison in the jail, Congress UP chief Ajay Rai also expressed concern and said that the accusations are big and they should be deeply investigated.

However his death will not have any drastic effect in the region other than the Ghazipur Lok Sabha seat where Mukhtar’s brother Afzal is the sitting MP from the BSP. The seat has by and large remained with the SP and the BSP for the past two decades with Afzal winning it in 2004 (SP) and 2019 (BSP). In 2009, another candidate from SP, Radha Mohan Singh and the BJP won only once (in the past 20 years) when Manoj Sinha won from here in 2014. Afzal has been once again given the ticket from the Ghazipur seat, however this time by his old accomplice SP.

The Ansari family also enjoys substantial influence in the neighboring Mau district which is also reflected by the result of the lone Ghosi seat where the SP and the BSP have been winning for the past two decades barring 2014 when the BJP’s Hari Narayan Rajbhar had won.

Mukhtar was the most notorious name of UP for the past few decades as the mastermind of organized crime and with the continuous shockers on the legal front during the last two years (ever since he was shifted to UP’s Banda jail from Punjab), his terror machinery was deteriorating increasingly helpless and getting paralyzed. With his death ending a chapter of crime, the issue of law and order has again come into discussion with the ruling BJP again pressing its commitment of a safe and developing state on all fronts.

Badaun People Happy With Police Action

Badaun People Happy With Swift Police Action In Double Murder Case

By LokMarg

Anshul Jain, a native of Badaun and a socio-political expert, says the timely action in the recent double murder case has strengthened the trust of electorate in UP Police and Yogi Govt. His views:

The entire Badaun district was in shock when two local barbers, Sajid and Javed, in the Baba colony area killed their neighbour’s two minor sons Ayush, and Ahaan on March 19. Though the police failed to give any concrete reason behind the heinous crime, all it has to say is that the accused Sajid, who was killed in an encounter, was mentally unstable.

Though the police nabbed Sajid and killed him in an encounter while he was trying to escape from police custody, his partner in crime, Javed was later arrested from Bareilly. The entire episode is shrouded in mystery as the assailant Javed has not been revealed much about the motive of the crime. A frustrated Vinod also tried to immolate himself in front of the SSP office on March 24 but the police had nothing much to add to its investigation.

Nevertheless, the issue has not acquired any political colours and by and large, Badaun voters feel that the action of police personnel was swift and the crime situation in the district as well in the state has been satisfactory. Meanwhile, higher officials of Uttar Pradesh police have denied a communal angle to the crime.

Talking about the effect of the incident on the elections, it is hardly going to hamper the prospects of BJP that has its MP (Sanghmitra Maurya) representing the Lok Sabha seat. In 2019, Maurya secured nearly 47 per cent votes and won by a margin of about 20,000 votes defeating his nearest rival Dharmendra Yadav of SP. This time, the BJP has declared Durvijay Singh Shakya as its candidate and his chances are even better this time thanks to the image of Adityanath Yogi.

Badaun has about 20 lakh voters with 3.5 lakh Muslim, 3.5 lakh Yadavs, 4 lakh general category voters and about 2.5 lakh Shakya (OBC) voters. The main fight is between the BJP and the SP and if BSP files a Muslim candidate from the seat, it is going to dent SP and benefit BJP.

The Samajwadi Party has used the Badaun incident to attack the Yogi government for the deteriorating law and order situation in the state. However, according to locals of Badaun, who are shocked after the incident and are standing with the family, the chief minister has got his 2nd historic term in the state over his brilliant performance on the law and order front. Even in the current horrific incident, the mood of electorate is one of laudatory for the role of state police and state administration.
