How Purvanchal has the key to the power of UP? understand full math

There are 117 seats in Purvanchal of Uttar Pradesh and BJP won 80 seats in the last election.

The bugle of the assembly elections has been sounded in Uttar Pradesh and the political party is in the electoral fray with full force. It is said that the road to Delhi passes through Uttar Pradesh and the road to power in Uttar Pradesh passes through Purvanchal. About 30 percent of the seats in the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly come from Purvanchal. The importance of Purvanchal can also be understood in such a way that the Chief Minister of the state, Yogi Adityanath comes from Purvanchal itself. Along with this, the Prime Minister of the country, Narendra Modi is also an MP from Varanasi seat of Purvanchal.

Let us inform that in 19 districts of Purvanchal, 117 assembly seats of Uttar Pradesh come. These districts include Basti, Sant Kabir Nagar, Siddharth Nagar, Maharajganj, Gorakhpur, Kushinagar, Deoria, Mau, Azamgarh, Ballia, Jaunpur, Ghazipur, Chandauli, Varanasi, Kaushambi, Prayagraj, Sant Ravidas Nagar, Mirzapur and Sonbhadra.

BJP had won 76% of the seats: In the 2017 assembly elections, the BJP alliance won 90 of the 117 seats in Purvanchal. BJP alone had secured 80 seats, while Apna Dal(S) won 6 and SubhaSP 4 seats. Samajwadi Party won 14 seats and BSP 10 seats. While the Congress and the Nishad Party won 1-1 and an independent candidate won one seat. In this way, BJP had won 76% of the seats in Purvanchal in the last election.

Small teams do big things: The role of small parties is also very important in Purvanchal. That is why the role and activity of political parties like Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party, Apna Dal (S), Apna Dal (K), Nishad Party Mahan Dal also remains very high. In the 2017 assembly elections, BJP contested in alliance with Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party and Apna Dal (S), while Nishad Party was in the fray alone. Whereas this time the situation is a bit different.

If we talk about alliance with smaller parties, then this time the Samajwadi Party is looking far ahead. The Samajwadi Party has allied with Omprakash Rajbhar’s party Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party, Keshav Dev Maurya’s party Mahan Dal and Krishna Patel’s Apna Dal (Communist). Whereas Nishad Party and Apna Dal (S) have an alliance with BJP.

If we talk about small parties of Purvanchal, then all these parties represent backward society and influence non Yadav OBC vote bank of BJP. The Samajwadi Party has tried to take the Mauryas, Kurmis, Patels and Rajbhar communities with them as all these castes had voted for the BJP in large numbers in 2017.

SP gave place to effective leaders: The Samajwadi Party has not only made alliances with smaller parties, but in many districts, the influential leaders of those districts have also been included in the SP. Samajwadi Party replaced Ambika Chaudhary, a strong leader of Ballia, and her arrival strengthened the party. Samajwadi Party also got success in the election of District Panchayat President. Ram Prasad Choudhary, a prominent leader of Kurmi Samaj in Basti, was disbanded from the Bahujan Samaj Party and joined the Samajwadi Party.

In Gorakhpur, the family of Brahmin leader and Bahubali Harishankar Tiwari was also accepted by the Samajwadi Party. Samajwadi Party also got membership of Swami Prasad Maurya, who is MLA from Padrauna seat of Kushinagar. The Samajwadi Party also took MLA Dara Singh Chauhan from Madhuban seat of Mau.

BJP’s alliance with Nishad Party and Apna Dal: The BJP is also leaving no stone unturned to repeat the previous performance in Purvanchal. In the 2017 elections, the BJP formed an alliance with the Nishad Party, which remained alone. At the same time, the alliance of BJP with Apna Dal (S) remains intact. In 2017, the vote of Nishad community was divided, BJP has tried to bring it with it this time.

At the same time, the BJP’s alliance with Apna Dal (S) continues to woo the Karmis and Patels. Caste politics has always dominated in Uttar Pradesh and especially in Purvanchal. All the political parties who want to come to power move ahead only by keeping the caste equation.
