71/80: BJP posts its best-ever show in UP

Lucknow: TEAM TOI

The Times of India May 17 2014

SP Has Five Winners, All From Mulayam's Family; Not A Single Muslim MP From State

What L K Adva ni's rath yatra couldn't achieve in the 1990s, Narendra Modi's juggernaut has done in UP in 2014: a near-total decimation of the entire opposition with 71 out of 80 seats and 42% vote share for BJP. It's the maximum the party has ever got. The decisive verdict, however, has a flipside: UP hasn't sent any Muslim MP to the Lok Sabha this time. In 2009, SP had won 23, Congres 21, BSP 20 and BJP just 10.

The saffron domination was total: it left just five seats for SP and two for Congres, while BSP failed to open its account. The remaining two seats went to Apna Dal, a part of the NDA.

All SP seats went to the Yadav family: Mulayam, who won from two seats, daughter-in-law Dimple and nephews Dharmendra and Aksh ay. The two Congres winners were Sonia and Rahul Gandhi from Rae Bareli and Amethi.

RLD's father-son duo Ajit Singh and Jayant Chaudhary lost. All six Congres ministers, including Salman Khurshid, Beni Prasad Verma, Sri Prakash Jaiswal and RPN Singh, were defeated by huge margins.

The wave was neither as strong as the post-Emergency 1977 elections, when Congres got zilch with even Indira Gandhi defeated, nor as powerful as 1984, when Congres swept the entire state with just Lok Dal getting two seats. However, it was much stronger than the Ram temple wave which gave the party 57 seats in 1998.

First-time voters', youth and women's voting percentage was higher this time than those in 2009. SP's vote share of 22.3%, BSP's 19.8% and Congres's 7.4% did not translate into seats. In 1996, with a similar vote share (20.84%), SP had won 16 seats and BSP (20.61%) six. This time, besides promoting the development rhetoric and the Gujarat model, Modi also projected himself as a man of `neech jati' and was able to beat SP and BSP in their own game by combining `mandal' (caste) and `kamandal' (communalism).

Apart from contesting from UP to project his acceptability across the country , Modi addressed over 60 rallies covering all the 80 constituencies in eight months.

The high-voltage campaign through electronic, print and social media was meticulously supplemented by the powerful whisper campaign by Sangh Parivar foot soldiers in each and every village across the state.

By describing Congres, BSP, SP and RLD as members of a team which indulges in shadow boxing in the state but shares a table at the Centre, Modi made the majority of the electorate believe that the opposition survives on Muslim vote-bank politics and are responsible for the poor state of affairs. And then, Modi deftly projected himself as a man with solution to the problems. His rivals had no answer to his call, “Achhe din aane wale hain“.

In the Rohilkhand region, the saffron outfit won Bareilly, Aonla, Pilibhit, Moradabad, Nagina and Shahjahanpur while rival SP managed to retain the Badaun seat.

Dharmendra Yadav turned out to be the only face-saver of SP in Badaun, a Yadav stronghold.

In Bareilly , six-time MP and BJP candidate Santosh Kumar Gangwar gave a drubbing to SP's Ayesha Islam by a margin of more than 2.40 lakh votes.

In Pilibhit, BJP's Maneka Gandhi also led from the front, and won by three lakh votes over her nearest rival, surpassing the victory margin of her son and sitting MP Varun Gandhi, who had won from Pilibhit with a margin of 2.81 lakh in 2009.

2019

BJP wins

May 24, 2019: The Times of India

Constituencies won by the main political parties in the Lok Sabha elections of 2014 and 2019 in UP
From:

It was a rally in Bulandshahr in west UP and chief minister Yogi Adityanath had just got onto the dais to speak when the rumblings began. The crowd, including BJP workers, began shouting slogans against the candidate, Bholey Singh.

When things were almost going out of hand, Yogi thundered: “Shaant ho jaiye. Aap log Modiji ke liye vote kar rahe hain.” The crowd then settled down.

The tsunami came again. Five years after Narendra Modi, then PM candidate for BJP, led the party to sweep UP with 71 out of 80 seats, the state with the largest number of seats in Parliament felt the storm once more. BJP’s emphatic victory — 62— leaving just 15 for the SP-BSP-RLD alliance and one for Congress, reiterated that brand Modi is still matchless, despite five years of government at the Centre and two in the state.

The three-party mahagathbandhan, which came with the promise of a new social engineering by bringing together two formidable but warring castes — Dalits and OBCs — with additional votes of Muslims and Jats, could not manage to stop BJP’s march.

It can now take solace in the fact that it has managed a three times rise in number of seats as compared to 2014. While Bahujan Samaj Party was wiped out last time with no seats in Lok Sabha, Samajwadi Party was reduced to five seats, all held by members of Mulayam Singh Yadav’s family.

For Congress in UP, Thursday was a black day, with its already low tally of two from the state going down to one and its family citadel, Amethi, falling as party president Rahul Gandhi failed to hold on to it.

Priyanka Gandhi, who made a late but stormy entry into active politics by being appointed general secretary in-charge of eastern UP, too could not make an impact despite her whirlwind tour of key areas like Varanasi, Prayagraj and Mirzapur and long meetings with party workers that stretched all through the night.

Many of the Yadav family strongholds too got blown away in the Modi storm. Of the five family members who won in 2014, three — Mulayam’s daughter-in-law Dimple Yadav is trailing in Kannauj, while nephews Akshay and Dharmendra are trailing in Firozabad and Badaun.

This, and the alliance’s failure to make it big despite initial promise and a strong caste combination have raised doubts over whether the much-awaited vote transfer between SP and BSP’s supporters was taking place.

The two leaders tried their best to send out a strong message. They kept behind their bitter past and held joint rallies, with Mayawati even sharing stage with her foe Mulayam Singh Yadav, as the two heaped praises on each other. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav’s wife and Kannauj MP Dimple Yadav even touched Mayawati’s feet on stage, signaling a huge shift in UP’s social landscape. UP was supposed to be the most challenging state for BJP after formation of the alliance, which claimed the support of Dalits, OBCs, Muslims and Jats earlier this year and political pundits predicted a big setback for the saffron party.

The four wins by the alliance in bypolls in 2018 had further pointed towards the invincible nature of the coalition of the forces of social justice.

Sensing this challenge, Modi himself spearheaded a blitzkrieg by addressing 28 rallies in the state in the past two months, and his speeches were laced with issues touching on nationalism. His statements “ghar mein ghoos ke mara hai” (referring to Balakot strikes) resonated strongly with the people, triggering a euphoric support for him to the extent that voters who were highly critical of BJP candidates voted in a spirited manner.

Modi’s popularity in both rural and urban areas and among almost all social segments, from upper castes to backwards and Dalits, and age groups battered the alliance.
