No major surprises as Modi leads BJP’s first list of 51 in U.P.

Hindustan Times  

Amid intense speculation, the BJP surprised all by not springing any major surprise on the list of 51 candidates for the Lok Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh, naming about 60% of the candidates for the state’s 80 seats on Saturday. The party mostly backed the sitting MPs to subtly signal to a largely divided opposition that the BJP was confident of “pro-incumbency” under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s stewardship. That the BJP retained a majority of its sitting MPs in U.P revealed that the ruling party, having engaged in psychological posturing by declaring it would win 68% of the total Lok Sabha seats with 100% backing from U.,P was now willing to “walk the talk” by mostly going with same set of faces who contested the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. “Modi hai toh sab mumkin hai,” said a senior BJP functionary when asked if the party wasn’t worried about “anti-incumbency” against its sitting MPs while entering a crucial election. While Modi expectedly leads the list of heavyweights with a third consecutive nomination from Varanasi, defence minister Rajnath Singh will again recontest from Lucknow while Union minister Smriti Irani, who had recently “dared” Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to set up a 2019 rematch with her, has again been named the party candidate from Amethi, a Lok Sabha candidate from where, until 2019, the Congress had only lost twice.
