Commune Blogs: What the BJP’s victory in UP means

Looking at the results of the recently concluded Assembly polls of the five states, BJP is comfortably holding Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Uttarakhand, and Manipur while AAP is growing in Punjab and INC massively losing grounds. By getting thet four states right, once again it has been proven that there is a continuing BJP wave in the country.

No party or Chief Minister has won two consecutive terms in Uttar Pradesh since independence. There were several false propagandas around the Yogi Government which were: unemployment, migrant labor issue during Covid, unavailability of oxygen during Covid, corpses floating on the river, communal tension amongst people. But the results are showing that the effect done by the Yogi government on the ground has struck the chord with people than the empty rhetorics peddled by the global and Lutyens media in India.

The performance of BJP is phenomenal because they have effectively performed using all Central and State Government schemes. They had extensively implemented welfare schemes which has reached several lakh people.

CM Yogi has made sure that his states becomes a peaceful state with no goondaism or riots. He transformed the state into an attractive destination for domestic and foreign investment. He consistently reviewed the progress of the infrastructure projects especially, express the highway projects, and closely monitored implementation of health insurance scheme, LPG stove to women folks, housing scheme etc. 

Farmer’s agitation seems to have had no effect with the Jats in western UP overwhelmingly voting for Yogi Sarkar. BJP has strongly captured the emotions of common sense and nationalism of the people. 

We need to look at the Indian National Congress’ efforts in Uttar Pradesh. Priyanka Gandhi camped there and has done more than 200+ rallies in UP. They tried putting an energetic look and a different manifesto, yet, they are losing very badly. It has become a party with no leadership and no direction. 

The takeaway from the results is this – the Congress is a crumbled cookie which is being devoured by regional aspirants. The boss remains the BJP.
