UP By-Polls: BJP's Nationalism vs. INDIA Alliance's Backward and Minority Outreach

Deccan Chronicle  

NEW DELHI: With the shadow of the byelections in the 10 Assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh looming large, the fight is on between the BJP’s jingoistic nationalism and the INDIA alliance’s attempts to weaponise the backward and minority communities. As the BJP, blending Hindutva and nationalism, kicked off its “Tiranga March” across all the state’s Assembly constituencies on Saturday, the Congress simultaneously launched a month-long campaign to consolidate the OBC and minority vote bank by focusing on the caste census and the Waqf Amendment Bill. Sensing that nationalism might “not be enough” to ensure the party’s victory in the Assembly byelections, top BJP leaders were also holding parleys with its UP Dalit leaders. While the BJP had only five of the 10 Assembly berths in its kitty, the Yogi camp feels that winning a maximum number of seats would not merely boost the morale of the party but would also strengthen the chief minister’s position, that is reportedly hanging in balance after the party’s dismal performance in the Lok Sabha polls.
