BJP's staggering near 50% vote share in Uttar Pradesh indicates change in usual caste politics, party's influence across communities

Firstpost  

The BJP appears to be overturning the traditional, caste-based politics in Uttar Pradesh as it doesn’t make sense for a single party to approach 50 percent of the vote share. The experts picked Goa and Kerala, except for Rajiv Shukla, who insisted that the most popular state among Indians would be Uttar Pradesh. Whether one wants the BJP to win or the SP-BSP alliance, it is becoming clear that Uttar Pradesh will decide whether Narendra Modi will remain prime minister. If the BJP again wins Uttar Pradesh, it will have substantially upended the conventional political science theories that centre around caste.
