Assembly election results: A tale of saffron spread and regional resistance
THREE BROAD TRENDS HAVE BEEN manifest in the electoral processes in India since the Lok Sabha election of 2014—the period political analysts and observers call the “Narendra Modi era”. S.P.’s spirited fight However, the Samajwadi Party, the principal opposition party in Uttar Pradesh, put up a spirited fight along with its allies—smaller parties such as the Rashtriya Lok Dal, the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party and Mahan Dal—substantially boosting the combine’s seat tally and vote share. Regional roadblocks However, similar power-grabbing expeditions failed miserably in big States such as West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra, in the Assembly elections held in 2018 and 2019. Several of them said that comparisons between the BJP’s vote percentage in Uttar Pradesh in the 2019 general election and the latest Assembly election were a matter of serious concern. Several political analysts based in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are of the view that the fulcrum of opposition politics in the run-up to the 2024 election will revolve around Akhilesh Yadav, Arvind Kejriwal, Mamata Banerjee, Trinamool Congress leader and West Bengal Chief Minister, and M.K.
