issues in gujarat election

The shortcoming of all the recent campaigns of the Congress is that through them it has not been able to put any new dream of nation building and the prosperity of the common people in front of the country. In such a situation, the BJP has been successful in keeping the troubled people mobilized from the politics of Hindutva.

An opinion poll published just before the announcement of the election schedule in Gujarat has revealed which issues are most agitating the people of Gujarat at the moment. In this survey of CSDS, 51 percent of the people told inflation as their biggest problem. Adding unemployment and poverty, the number of people who describe economic issues as their biggest problem reaches above 70 percent. Moreover, just before the announcement of the election schedule, the Morbi incident took place, which allegedly exposed the truth of the ‘Gujarat model’ of development. Gujarat is the state where there were allegations of maximum efforts to hide the number of dead and victims during the corona epidemic. So the question is, will these issues become major issues in the assembly elections? Elections held in other states earlier this year showed that such issues remain almost irrelevant in building political mandates.

Now Congress has adopted a different method of politics. Along with the Bharat Jodo Yatra, five yatras have been taken out in Gujarat, which are said to pass through the entire state. So the question is, will the Congress be able to bring the problems of the people and the failure of the ruling BJP to the center of the election discussion through these visits? If it is not able to bring it, then it will be understood that the politics of criticism alone is no longer effective. The shortcoming of all the recent campaigns of the Congress is that through them it has not been able to put any new dream of nation building and the prosperity of the common people in front of the country. In such a situation, the BJP has been successful in keeping the troubled people mobilized from the politics of Hindutva. Gujarat was the experiment site of such politics of BJP. From here she reached all over the country with this effective model. In such a situation, it is natural that the whole country will be watching the signs emerging from here.
