If the BJP loses the UP election, it will reflect on the popularity of PM Modi and not the CM Yogi. It was Modi who took the things on his shoulders and has been running the campaign.
Now after the shoot out incident, it looks like MIM will not be able to divide the votes for the sake of the BJP. The farmer’s factor remains against the BJP.
The way Modi was blocked on the roads shows it all. The first phase of polling will take place in western UP and how the voters interpret the pattern of voting will have a bearing in other phases too.
People here in UP talk about Modi and not the CM Yogi. If the BJP loses, Modi will have to take the blame and not Yogi. Yogi has been implementing the agenda given by BJP and Modi.
The latest surveys are indicating that Akhilesh is poised to make a comeback. MIM will not be able to divide the votes. This will also have a bearing on the General elections in future.
The BJP could turn the tables in the other phases also taking the poll pattern and intelligence reports into account.
