अब ११ मार्च को इन दोनों लड़कों को अपनी राजनीतिक अस्तित्व को बचाए रखने के लिए किस रास्ते चलना चाहिए ? ? इसके लिए भी अभी से तैयारी कर लेनी चाहिए |
यह बात उड़ीसा तथा महाराष्ट्र निकाय चुनाव में देशद्रोही कांग्रेस का सूपड़ा साफ हो जाने के साथ कांग्रेस मुक्त भारत के रुप को ही प्रदर्शित कर रही है और अब उत्तर प्रदेश में आकर यह पूर्णता प्राप्त कर कांग्रेस मुक्त भारत के साथ नमाजवादी पार्टी की बिदाई भी तय कर देगी |
As the Uttar Pradesh election enters the final lap, the BJP is giving it all. Almost all ministers who can speak Hindi have been packed off to Uttar Pradesh, where the party is trying to replicate its performance of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections and regain prominence in state politics after being sidelined by regional players. On poll duty, four senior ministers Nadda,Goyal,Smriti Irani and Narendra Singh Tomar are all staying in Lucknow .
The competition is there and stakes high. The ruling Samjwadi Party is nervous and for the first time gone into polls with a partner, the Congress. Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party is keen to make a comeback in the state and has hoped on Muslim votes.
Home minister Rajnath Singh, who hails from Uttar Pradesh and seen as a potential chief ministerial candidate, has been crisscrossing the state for several weeks now. He visited Tarabganj, Sahajnava, Ghanghata, Isouli and Sultanpur among other places. He, too, has been camping in Lucknow. Small industries minister Kalraj Mishra, a prominent Brahmin face from Uttar Pradesh, was busy campaigning in Jalalpur, Kapilvastu and Mahadeva. While only a few senior ministers campaigned in Goa, Uttarakhand and Punjab, which voted earlier this month, UP is too big a state and a different ball game.
For the BJP, the outcome in UP will decide the direction its government will take at the Centre. A win in the bellwether state will embolden it to go ahead with economic reforms. The party wants to put the bruising defeat in Bihar behind it and as Rajnath Singh told HT “UP will compensate for the loss in Bihar”.
It will also help improve the ruling coalition’s tally in the Rajya Sabha, where it is in minority, and put it in a more comfortable position ahead of the presidential poll in July. Poll duties, however, are not at the cost of the government work. On Wednesday, all ministers were in the Capital for a cabinet meeting.
