Lok Sabha Election Result 2024: This time BJP was confident of winning all the 80 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh, but NDA was reduced to only 36 seats. Looking at the statistics of Uttar Pradesh, it is clear that whatever issue BJP raised here including Ram Mandir, OBC card, did not work. The result was that many big leaders had to face defeat in UP.
Ram Mandir factor did not work
This time it was believed that the Pran Pratishtha of Ramlala in Ayodhya could bring a big electoral success to the BJP, but this did not happen. The BJP had to face defeat in the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat in which Ayodhya falls, which shocked everyone. In such a situation, the question is why did the BJP lose in Ayodhya?
The main reason for BJP’s defeat is anti-incumbency against the local candidate. BJP’s Lallu Singh failed to connect with the local people. Large scale demolition took place for development, which caused loss to BJP. Speaking on the constitution also proved costly for the BJP candidate. BJP candidate Lallu Singh had said that the party needs 400 seats to change the constitution. On the other hand, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took care of the caste equation here, which benefited him.
Kashi factor also remained ineffective
In the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP was hopeful that Ram Mandir This factor would have worked, but the opposite happened. BJP lost five seats including Ayodhya. Kashi factor also proved ineffective for BJP in UP. Although Narendra Modi did win the Varanasi seat, the party had to face defeat in 17 out of 26 seats in Purvanchal.
The issue of nationalism did not work in UP
Nationalism is one of the biggest issues for the Bharatiya Janata Party. In UP as well as in the entire country, BJP leaders dominated the opposition parties on the issue of nationalism, but its effect was not seen anywhere in the results. Especially if we talk about Uttar Pradesh, then Akhilesh Yadav’s new slogan PDA (backward, Dalit, minority) worked here.
The issue of Muslim reservation was also left behind
To return to power, BJP also resorted to OBC and Muslim card in Uttar Pradesh, but that too was ineffective. Here Anupriya Patel, OP Rajbhar, Sanjay Nishad also could not show their magic, as a result of which OBC votes got scattered from BJP. During the election campaign, from Narendra Modi to all the big leaders of BJP dominated Congress on the issue of Muslim reservation.
BJP leaders used to allege in rallies that Congress will snatch the reservation of OBC, SC and ST and give it to Muslims, but this campaign of BJP did not work. The party leaders failed to explain this issue to the voters.
The issue of unemployment overshadows the slogan of free ration
This Lok Sabha Elections The issue of unemployment prevailed over the BJP’s slogan of free ration and free house. The vote bank of the beneficiaries of free ration and house did not vote unitedly in favour of the BJP. The condition of the BJP in Uttar Pradesh was such that seven Union Ministers of the party had to face defeat by a huge margin. Apart from this, the BJP also had to bear the brunt of negligence in ticket distribution. The party did not field strong candidates on many seats.
