The assembly bypolls victory of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidates yesterday on six of the seven Uttar Pradesh constituencies has brought an early Diwali cheer to chief minister Yogi Adityanath, who was facing the double whammy of anti-incumbency and reverse labour migration crisis.
The seven UP assembly seats, which witnessed bypolls on November 3, were Naugawan Sadat (Amroha district), Tundla (Ferozabad), Bangarmau (Unnao), Bulandshahr, Deoria, Ghatampur (Kanpur Dehat) and Malhani (Jaunpur).
The BJP was up against a fragmented opposition viz. Congress, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and Samajwadi Party (SP). While, the saffron outfit won six seats, principal opposition SP retained its traditional Malhani constituency.
The thumping win of the BJP candidates has reasserted the authority of Yogi in the state unit of the party and silenced his detractors questioning his style of functioning.
Even as the bypoll win indicate the success of the BJP poll and organisational management ahead of the crucial 2022 UP elections, the Congress, which was expecting to put up a better show under party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra not only drew a blank but it also exposed the lack of cadre mobilisation at the grassroots.
