7 Seats are Too Few to Affect BJP Dominance in UP Assembly, but Enough to Gauge Wind Direction for '22
News 18In a state with a 403-member legislative assembly, elections on just seven seats should generally not be a reason of much concern and importance. Though the ruling BJP dominated the bypolls, winning six of the seven seats on Tuesday, a slight variation in the results could be read by many as a defining statement on chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership. YOGI’S IMAGE AND BRAHMIN DISCONTENT Exit polls predict a smooth ride for the BJP, the projection being that it will register a win on six or at least five of the seven seats. With winning over the likes of Anu Tandon, the former Congress MP from Unnao, just a day before polling, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav tried to dent the Congress’s prospects in the only seat of Bangarmau where the party’s candidate Arti Bajpayee was considered to be giving a tough fight. Unnao’s Bangarmau seat is interesting to watch as it had never gone to the BJP barring in 2017, when Kuldeep Sengar joined the party and contested polls.
