The Hindu Vocab On Battleground Uttar Pradesh

U.P. is critical as a battleground at the national level

With 80 Lok Sabha seats, Uttar Pradesh is critical (saying something bad or wrong) in all political calculations, and more so for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which on its own won 71 seats from the State in 2014 and 62 in 2019. Fronts led by the BJP and the Samajwadi Party (SP) are the principal poles in the elections (a time when people vote in order to choose someone for a political or official job) spread over all seven phases. The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) led by four-time U.P. Chief Minister Mayawati is going solo, even as it battles decline. The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) is trying to make its presence felt, in alliance with another regional outfit. Several sub-regional outfits that largely draw their support from a single caste group in a confined area are vying for autonomous (independent and having the power to make your own decisions) space in alliances with other parties. The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) got a shot in the arm with the induction of the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) which commands a considerable (large or of noticeable importance) following among the agrarian Jat community in western U.P. that had been agitated against the Centre’s farm laws. The Apna Dal (Sonelal) led by Anupriya Patel, Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) led by Om Prakash Rajbhar and Nirbal Indian Shoshit Hamara Aam Dal (NISHAD) party of Sanjay Nishad are other platforms that enable the BJP’s outreach (an effort to bring services or information to people where they live or spend time) to specific subaltern communities.

The SP and the Congress, which are constituents (one of the parts that a substance or combination is made of) of the INDIA bloc, have roped in the Mahan Dal led by Keshav Dev Maurya. The outfit enjoys the support of some sections of Other Backward Classes such as Mauryas, Shakyas and Kushwahas in central and eastern Uttar Pradesh. The broader rainbow coalition (the joining together of different political parties or groups for a particular purpose, usually for a limited time, or a government that is formed in this way) that the SP formed with multiple sub-regional parties in the 2022 Assembly polls is missing this time and two of its former allies, the SBSP and the RLD, have crossed over to the NDA. One faction of the Apna Dal is in alliance with the AIMIM. This front and the SP-Congress axis are both pivoting (a fixed point supporting something that turns or balances) around a social coalition of backwards, Dalits and Muslims to counter the Hindutva consolidation behind the BJP, but similar efforts in the recent past have been largely ineffective. The BSP is staring at a dead end, with its leaders joining other parties, and its social base massively eroded (to rub or be rubbed away gradually). Despite the consolidation (the process of becoming or being made stronger and more certain)that the BJP has achieved in the last decade, U.P. politics remains fragmented (consisting of several separate parts) along caste, religious and regional fault lines. The State also happens to be home to the most strident form of BJP politics and the party expects to make gains from the opening of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, and win more seats in the State than it did in 2019. The Opposition (strong disagreement)needs to win a substantial (large in size, value, or importance) number of seats in U.P. to be viable (Capable of working, functioning, or developing adequately) as an alternative at the national level.
