UP Lok Sabha Elections 2024 Scenario:
Uttar Pradesh which sends the largest number of members to the Lok Sabha is crucial for the BJP's plan for a third consecutive term in office. The INDIA bloc too hopes to put up a respectable fight in the state, now that the Samajwadi Party and the Congress have finally stitched together an alliance.
The BJP-led ruling coalition won 64 seats -- BJP 62, Apna Da(S) 2 -- out of the total 80 constituencies in 2019, contributing significantly to the overwhelming majority that the Narendra Modi government enjoyed in the outgoing Lok Sabha.
The BJP is now set to cash in on Modi's popularity and the Hindutva appeal in UP. The BJP is also strengthened in Uttar Pradesh by the support extended by smaller parties. Om Prakash Rajbhar's Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party's return to the alliance gives it an edge in the state's Purvanchal region.
Similarly, Rashtriya Lok Dal leader Jayant Chaudhary's move to ditch the Samajwadi Party and ally with the BJP is expected to make the NDA's job easier in western Uttar Pradesh, where Jats and the farming community dominate.
Uttar Pradesh also happens to be a bright spot for the otherwise fledgling opposition INDIA bloc. After a phase of bitter name-calling between the SP, the main opposition in the state, and the Congress, the two sides finally have a seat-sharing agreement recalling for many the short-lived “UP ke ladke”, or the UP Boys, alliance between Akhilesh Yadav and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for the 2017 assembly polls.
