‘India’s first solar mission SUNVILLA SAMACHAR likely to launch next year’: Uttar Pradesh Assembly Poll Is Get- ISRO Editorial
ting All Focus From Narendra Modi
The most populous state of Uttar Pradesh is in election mode with the correct people making the correct noises at the correct time. For beginners, Congress leader Salman Khurshid has named Priyanka Gandhi Vadra at the vanguard for the Congress, and Samajwadi Party top-man Akhilesh Yadav has told the BJP and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to dump the‘Lotus’ election symbol and go for the ‘Bulldozer’ because it fit the Bharatiya Janata Party’sbellicose image like a glove. Whether the Yogi got the sarcasm or not is debatable. Point is, the UP assembly electionswould without doubt take place in the first half of 2022, and there’s an eagerness in theOpposition. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath wants an encore, but whether the people of UttarPradesh want a repeat performance of the Yogi is a matter of concern for the BJP! PrimeMinister Narendra Modi hopes there will be déjà vu – the 2017 majority for the BharatiyaJanata Party all over again.In Aligarh on September14, Modi laid the foundation stones for a “defence corridor”, and abrand new University, which the BJP believes will rival the might of the acclaimed AligarhMuslim University. The Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh University is expected to fetch loads ofHindu votes for the BJP in UP assembly elections 2022, and general elections 2024.Actually, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is laying the foundation for a third term in office. Andwhile at it, he told the true story of a Muslim salesman of “Aligarh locks” and his forays into Gujarat. The story told with a personal touch included musings on Modi’s father whohappened to be the lock salesman’s confidante and friend.You see, Narendra Modi is an expert in spinning yarns! Samajwadi Party top-gun AkhileshYadav noted this aspect of Modi’s personality when he trained guns at the Yogi Adityanathgovernment and took aim at the Modi Government, emptying both barrels at the double-engine government of the Yogi. Yadav’s confidence is such that he gave the Yogi Government only another four months in office.Yadav also took potshots at the Prime Minister, stating that Modi’s BJP runs a “Centre forLies.” To stress home his contempt for the Bharaiya Janata Party, the ex-Chief Minister ofUP said the BJP should seriously consider dumping its ‘Lotus’ election symbol for the‘Bulldozer’ as the Yogi government has been busy demolishing the bare as bones hutments of the poor, and the vulnerable.For the Opposition, Akhilesh Yadav’s belligerence is new found confidence, a welcome development. The only problem is, the opposition parties are working at odds. Old guardSalman Khurshid rooting for Priyanka Gandhi Vadra should be backed by a similar statement of intent from the rest of the Opposition. Ditto for Akhilesh Yadav. Neither should work at cross purposes.As of now the signals are mixed. Some would even say there’s no signal at all. That said, ageneral consensus is building in favour of Akhilesh Yadav. He stands a far better chance to make Yogi and Modi bite the dust. That is, unless Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has made animpression and the electorate plumbs for her in real earnest, the Muslim voters in particular.The Samajwadi Party and Akhilesh Yadav are also banking on the Muslim voters to turn thetide on Yogi Adityanath. There is, of course, the Owaisi factor. As usual the man is goingsolo and solely for the Muslim vote, and there’s the usual talk that the AIMIM is the “B-team”of the BJP, out to wrest its pound of flesh! The fact of the matter is that without the opposition parties arriving at an understanding andan agreement to come together to fight the common enemy, there’s no way Modi and Yogicould be defeated, both of whom are intent on stitching together a communal front of Hinduvotes.The last two times the BJP notched up Hindu votes in one basket – a good majority of thosevotes – the BJP won a landslide in Uttar Pradesh, and a second term for Narendra Modi atthe Centre. Only opposition unity and a solid phalanx of Muslim and “secular Hindu” votescan see the ouster of Yogi and Modi from the face of the electoral earth. No one man should be given - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara the keys to Fort Knox for keeps.
