Decoding Heartland Mandate: Hindu consolidation helped BJP sweep west UP
ABP NewsThe bitterly contested and just-concluded Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections were significant for more reasons than one. The consolidation of Jat votes in favour of the BJP, after Muzaffarnagar riots, was an important development in the party’s plans to cement a pan-Hindu vote-bank. Amid the strident campaigning by Ajit Singh’s Rashtriya Lok Dal and Yashpal Malik’s Akhil Bharatiya Jat Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti which toured west UP with a large entourage of volunteers from neighbouring Haryana, critics of the BJP were hoping for a largescale Jat desertion from the BJP's support base. Similarly in Noorpur Assembly constituency of Bijnore district, the division of votes between the SP’s Naeemul Hassan and the BSP’s Gauhar Iqbal made it possible for the BJP’s Lokendra Singh to register his victory. In Meerapur Assembly constituency of Muzaffarnagar, the BJP’s Avatar Singh Bhadana won by a margin of a mere 193 votes, defeating SP’s Liyaqat Ali.
