Will Narendra Modi remain the most popular Prime Minister of India? He continues to be very popular on the social media. But will the same continue after the results the Uttar Pradesh elections, has to be seen. Can we treat the UP elections as the referendum to the Governance of the Prime Minister is another question.
We have to wait till the March 11 for the results. The Congress –Samajwadi alliance has got something to lose, even Mayawathi has got nothing to lose. It is an acid test for the PM and also the BJP rule in the country. If the BJP can win the election here in UP, we can say that even in 2019 the Modi government is all set to make a come back.
But if the BJP loses, it reflects on the leadership of Modi as he was the sole leading campaigner for the party. His credibility is at stake and the demonetization will also be taken as a prime reason for the loss of the party. The PM campaigned for 3 days in Varanasi like a local corporator and the result has to be seen.
But Akhilesh the CM has reasons like internal bickering in his family and that he has not given seat any minorities especially the Muslims. Mayawathi can talk about depending on the Muslims and neglecting the Brahmins. The MIM would me made responsible for the division of the Votes in some of the key constituencies.
But the major impact would have to absorb by the PM Modi in case they lose the election. First rounds of elections have voted for the alliance, but when the voting is coming to the end the BJP seems to have got better voting pattern.
As things stand it is 50-50 for the alliance and the BJP. Mayawathi is in the last . Lets hope the PM will retain his image.
