Message in the verdict
By completely rejecting the politics of negativism adopted by the Congress and its allies, the people in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand have hugely endorsed the historic demonetisation drive to curb the twin evils of black money and corruption. The charisma of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the political stratagem of Amit Shah have proved to be too good for the Bharatiya Janata Party’s political opponents to throw a spanner in the BJP’s unstoppable march as a true pan-India party. With some political observers describing the just-concluded elections in five States as the semi-finals round for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP is confident that the NDA will comfortably clinch the final too. Response from rivals While the people once again displayed their wisdom and dismissed the opportunistic alliance of the Samajwadi Party and the Congress in U.P., and also voted in favour of the BJP in Uttarakhand, a similar kind of maturity and grace was lacking from the BJP’s political rivals. The unprincipled SP-Congress alliance, the personal attacks on the Prime Minister by the BJP’s rivals, poor governance, lack of development, and the side-lining of SP patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav have apparently not gone down well with voters in U.P.
